If you find a reasonable alternative, let me know.

We’ll probably love to Australia at some point. That’s probably not reasonable for you though.

Let’s not start listening to a coast guy’s opinions on the Midwest.

Or maybe just Southern California. Anything to make the journey down under shorter.

Seriously, my wife and I talk all the time about eventually getting a winter home somewhere once the kids are gone (we eventually want to establish residency in Michigan at the lake), but can’t agree on anywhere. We abhor the southern states because it’s like 1935 down there with bat-shit-crazy Republican freaks. California doesn’t work because of the high taxes and it’s an Armageddon weather / climate wise. That doesn’t leave many options.

That'll probably happen before 2053 though.

Look into Mexico, why not? Unless you or she start having health problems around that time, wouldn’t trust the hospital system there.
