Best Place to Retire, Semiretire? - Most of That Advice Is Generic

There is a pile-on of assessments of best places to retire, based on metrics ranging from affordability to weather to access to healthcare.

But, as more, especially the semiretired, are finding out those are way too generic to be trusted guides. So, becoming common is the Goldilocks Approach. You try this and this is too whatever. You admit it and then try that and that is not enough whatever. If you are fortunate and learn from those experiences you will settle in finally and begin building the new phase of your life.

What's critical to some may not be for others. For example, northeastern Ohio offers a lot: Low cost of living, Lake Erie with its free beaches and free parking, accessibility to the East Coast and because of climate change, relatively moderate weather. But given the close-knit social systems, a number of my clients just couldn't make friends. They exited for the more fluid society of the western US.

Along the way what makes the experimentation more difficult than it needs to be is establishing roots prematurely. That can entail buying a house, investing in pricey furniture which will be expensive to ship, launching a business or paying the membership fee for joining organizations.
