More of a things we experience than a things we see post... A gal we know is moving to SW FL...but she isn't retiring and relocating. At age 60 she's divorced/single and moving there to work (and maybe find a rich old dude) in either the hospitality or elderly residential field. Born and raised in this area, but she's ready to uproot everything and move 20+ hours away. I give her a lot of credit. Making such a move when you're young is one thing, but doing it at 60 is another level of "adventure" entirely. I have a lot of respect for people who take the chance and totally change their lives at any age. My wife has a friend who moved to FL years ago. She is in her late 60's now. She helps other's who are older or who can't drive. She takes them shopping, or just drive them around so they can get out. She gets paid well for doing this. To top it off its all cash.

Geting set up to do Uber would be one way to make a decent living in FL. Pay's well and most seniors tip well. Lots of people only do Uber to local residents at our community.....so it's safer too. Most going to the airport or shopping.

Most going to the airport or shopping. Got a senior family member living in a rural area who supports themselves by providing people rides to the hospital. Ubering while not Uber. Pretty slick.

Good ideas ^^^
This gal has experience working with older folks as well as cooking/serving. She'll likely land a job down there the first day she looks.
She loves the sun and the beach, so she's going to love Florida

This weekend was our city wide clean up day where folks can put items at the end of their driveways and they get picked up, and lots of folks like myself go around picking items before they get hauled away. At least 3 piles I would guess were dead guy's stuff. Good precision machining tools, Navy medals, old books.....covered in mouse shit and then water soaked after the shed roof leaked. Guys, get rid of your stuff before you die, or expect the worse for it. Also was a pile of what looked like someone that graduated highschool a few years ago that cleaned out their room including graduation cards. There was a Liberty silver dollar thrown away, but not one of the many Target gift cards found had any balance remaining on them. If you want a kid to appreciate a gift get them a Target gift card and not silver money. SMDH Goodies found? Small generator (starts, wont run), 2 x electric smoker ( 1 clean, 1 covered in mold), 14" chainsaw (runs, dull chain), 10" miter saw, Craftsman topbox toolbox, nice little stainless camp grill, new 1 pound propane burner and base, Dewalt corded screw gun, boxes of galvanized nails, and a 10 point rack.
Weirdest thing found? A 200 pound centrifuge.

What are you going to do with a centrifuge? It has already been disassembled for scrap. Got a trailer loaded ready to go to the yard.

I have no idea how to get a pic from our Blink cam videos to post here...but around 4 a.m we had a decent 9 or 10 pt buck eating hawthorn fruit about a foot away from one of the cams. High speed internet is nice to have.
