RE: Canada doesn’t have Arizona
Why would one want to retire in Arizona? How are the summers out there?
I haven’t been warm since 1971.
Summers just like I like ‘em.
One day, maybe I’ll get there.
I'll take their summers over Michigan winters any time........I love heat
“Why would one want to retire in Arizona? How are the summers out there?”
Depends on what part of AZ you are referring to. The Flagstaff, Prescott, and Sierra Vista areas have four seasons and temperatures rarely exceed 100 degrees in the summer time.
We left the PRC (Peoples Republic of California) 27 years ago for Arizona.
An Arizona buck is worth about 3 San Diego buck in the cost of living exchange. I can open carry and we are much less regulated by out of control nanny government.
Gas is $1.00 or more cheaper per gallon. I grow fresh fruit and veggies in my back yard year round. The tomatoes and peppers are ripening along with the lemons and tangerines right now.
As for the summer, the AC keeps the house at a constant 78 degrees for $230 a month total electric bill with no threat of rolling blackouts. The Colorado river gives us all the water we need and is a cool place to take a dip in August.
Stay where you are.
