Good luck with your retirement in California.
I can fish (and hunt) anywhere, it's the quality of life that I'm looking for and California is not a contender for my residence during retirement. I'll return once a year to comply with certain rules that require qualification for a privilage I enjoy as a result of my profession however, I see no benefit to living here any longer than I have to.
I'm getting close to full retirement (686 days until the 1st Social Security Check will be directly deposited in one of the accounts) and this Native Son of California is hoping to sell the home (no mortgage) for a price (if you have a lousy $600K sitting around, the house is yours) that will allow the person to whom I'm related by marriage and I, to take the money and run out of California...there are excellent cultural, health care, fishing, & entertainment oportunities as well as providers of necessary supplies (not to mention great housing values) in many states where the cost of living is less than that in California due to the existance of fewer !@#$%^&* freeloaders along with fewer useless politicians who depend on the !@#$%^&* freeloaders to get elected (over and over) to spend more money than the state takes in. Life's too short to stay in California.
