There are some wonderful places in Michigan that are much more affordable than they once were, but for people who want to retire, they should only retire in Michigan if they already live there/have family there or if they don’t mind the snow.

Absolutely agree. I covered Michigan for a few years in my sales territory. I know every paper mill and almost every good fishing river.

It takes a certain type to retire in North Michigan. If you are an outdoorsman, have family there, don't mind the rough winter, lake effect snow, and mild summer, and don't mind driving 30-40 miles for shopping outside of a local Glenns, it's great.

I'll probably be retiring up by Traverse City.
