Re: Your Florida Retirement
Director, Florida Retirement Info
During the year 2007, the first crop of Baby Boomers will be turning 60 and will be on their way to retirement. If you are in that group, congratulations! You are on the verge of a most exciting time in your life.
As early retirement has become more in voque, there will be huge populations of younger retirees entering the retirement system and flocking to traditional destinations. At the top of this list will be Florida, as it has been for decades.
But heed this warning: Awaiting you, the new retiree, will be limitless opportunities and opportunists, looking for you and your hard earned savings.
When I decided to retire in Florida some 15 years ago (part time at first), the state was a very different place. Since that time, the changes and population growth have been nothing short of astounding. No doubt you have read about the explosion of building and land development in the state if you have done even the most rudimentary research. Just look at this list of recent property value changes below. After a huge price run-up, prices have adjusted dramatically this past year. Here's how much your Florida retirement home's value could have changed from 2006-7!
Astounding, isn't it? Whenever there is a frenzy going on like this, common sense can be lost in the shuffle. The "buy now or miss out" mindset typically takes hold and tragic mistakes can be made by eagar, yet uniformed retirees. Unfortunately, these mistakes can have devastating effects on their chances for a fulfilling, yet practical retirement in Florida. They are effectively rolling the dice with their hard earned retirement savings.
My journey into full time FL retirement has been an incredible odyssey with its share of triumphs, challenges, and a multitude of discoveries.
Because of my inquisitive nature, I decided to document this journey not only for myself, but for family and friends about to begin their own retirement adventures.
You see, so many Florida retirees are making mistakes of which they are not even aware. Over the last 15 years, I have been taking note of the tales from the scores of retirees I've met. They each have their stories to tell, and some of them would break your heart.
In doing so, I have assembled the most powerful and useful collection of Florida retirement strategies, tips, best kept secrets, and resources available anywhere online...and I'd like to share them with you.
