Those who travel and enjoy their retirement have most likely worked hard to get what they have. Why are you so resentful of this?

You're reading into what I have said I just don't think the rest of society should pay for it.

Another point is that these retirees have paid into the system all their lives And you have used the roads, the police have protected you, the schools have educated your children, you are getting more out of Social Security than you ever paid in, and if you have insurance the carrier hopefully honors their side of the contract. Now the rest of society owes it to you to keep your taxes lower than everyone else, your insurance should be lower than everyone else. That means everyone else must pick up that part of the burden that you won't bear because of the choice of where you wish to live.

a) In Florida you pay to pave your own road. Really. Everyone on the street votes, and if they vote for it, you all get a bill.

b} The police protection here is practically nonexistant. Ask anyone here who has waited 7 hours for a sheriff after a burglary, and been told in the end they can't come because it's too busy. They will only come if anyone got hurt.

c)I wouldn't go to a public school here if you paid me. Everyone I know here homeschools.

d)I've never been in an insurance situation anywhere where I really got covered for my loss. That's one of the most galling things about the industry in the first place. I lost much of the use of my right arm in a car accident. I didn't even get enough for the surgeries.

e)By the way, there is no trash pickup, no recycling, and you pay for your own sewer.

Where does the money go? I can't figure it. Probably to buy up the Everglades.
