There are many of us left, but in our case, not any longer than need be.

My kids have all left and once mr. mm can retire, I want out, too.

My best advice ? if you can handle the hot weather and tornadoes ? move south.... like South Carolina.

Think Virginia. I am paying 1/3 the property taxes I paid in NY. We still have 4 seasons, the snow is really at a minimum and if you stay away from the coast the real estate prices are reasonable and you don't have to worry about hurricanes.
