You can retire in northern Michigan, where;

1). You don’t take your dog(s) to the vet when they return home with two hundred porcupine quills in their mouths, nose, gums, and tongue, because it happens too often to pay that much money, so you hold them down with scissors and pliers and do it yourself.

2). Your trashcans/bags at the end of your driveway are in a protective structure in order to keep wildlife out, up to the size of a raccoon, because the bears will tear down anything you built stronger anyway.

3). Locals fall into three categories; Yoopers (live north of the Mackinaw bridge, Trolls (live under/just south of the bridge), and Fudgies (downstaters on vacation).

4). Snowbelt areas measure snowfall for the season in tens of feet.

5). You know why downstaters are called “fudgies” (the local specialty is Mackinaw fudge)

6). You eat “pasties” for dinnner.
