Im 57 years old and when I finally sell the business and retire Im going north not south. The wife and I are looking for a house on Torch Lake and I have the 80 acre hunting/snowmobiling cabin in Starvation Lake not far away. I love the snow. So does the wife. Of course she is Canadian so was born in an igloo haha. (2020 was actually her first time able to vote. She became a citizen in 2018. Just so she could vote for President Trump.) And up there snow is such a common occurrence there is no such thing as a snow day. Before the Big Lake freezes they can get measurable snow everyday for a week straight. The counties are prepared and the roads get cleared fast.

I do own a condo in South Daytona though. Its on the beach at the furthest south pier. I rent it out most of the year. But reserve a month for me and other family members to enjoy. Its 10 miles away from where the kids do spring break so no problems there.

My son just moved to Clarksville with his family over Thanksgiving. The wife and I are going down in February. My best buds Dad has a house on a TVA lake just outside Knoxville. Think it is called Norris Lake. Spent some time down there and it is awesome. We rented out houseboats and spend the entire week on the water.
