Retirement advice used to be simple: sell the house, move somewhere warm, buy a cheap place, and spend your golden years fighting over restaurant coupons and the thermostat. Everyone was sold the same dream. Retirees arrived, investors followed, vacation rentals multiplied, and remote workers showed up with big-city pay checks and money to burn. Developers added pickleball courts, decorative fountains, and HOA fees. Meanwhile, insurance rates exploded, healthcare got crowded, and property taxes finally realized those $140,000 homes didn’t bring in the tax dollars like a million dollar monstrosity with a pool, maids quarters, and granite counter tops . Some of the places everyone retired to are not that affordable dream anymore.
