Let's take the 4 States that have similar (though not identical) weather.
Arizona: Cheap, sunny all the time, red state (business friendly), many members already live there so there is a built in network.
California: Beautiful weather, expensive expensive expensive
Texas: Similar to Arizona, and many people from here live around the state as well. Reasonably inexpensive housing options in many places
Florida: Very humid, though nice weather. Hurricanes. Old people.
You ultimately live where you want, for reasons that you find important. If I was America, I'd probably do summers in NYC and winters in Scottsdale.
Just my thoughts on it.
LOL/ Spoken like a true Canadian.
If I were to break down the same four states, I would do it like this :
Arizona. Beautiful desert. Hotter than shit for 90 days a year. Awesome the rest of the year, and laughing at the Midwestern states mid-winter. Developed areas are awesome, remote areas are barren. No water.
California. High density, off the chart taxes. Impossible to buy land. Good weather. Ocean.
Texas. Southern charm. North texas (even Dallas) is too cold to truly escape winter. No state income tax. Rednecks. Minimal water access.
Florida. Melting pot. High humidity. Florida keys are tropical, like Hawaii without the plane ride. Zero state income tax, as tourists generate most of the state income through sales taxes on tourist haunts. Ocean on both sides.
There's snowbirds in Florida and Arizona in certain pockets. Every state in the nation has Fast Laners if you know where to look for them.
Ultimately, once we cash out we will spend even more time than we do now on Maui. However, that's not a place for light pockets. I would only recommend moving to Hawaii (or at least extended stays) when you have enough money that you don't have to worry about it.
