Although retirement is still 6+ years away, I've started dreaming about ideal retirement spots.
If all the stars align my wife and I currently are thinking of summers on a lake in northern Wisconsin or Minnesota and winters in the Naples, Florida area. My wife and I are biased after spending the first 33 years of our life in Wisconsin/Minnesota but we haven't found anywhere that's better in the summer than the lake country of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan. And although I love to ice fish, there's no way I'm putting up with the Northern winters when I'm retired. Naples Florida has an amazing assortment of private and public golf courses and equally important, has great boating/fishing. Has anyone else narrowed down where they would pick for their ideal retirement?
