America's Most Popular State for Retirement Is Losing Its Edge: 'Why I'm Moving Out of Florida To Retire'
Briefly

Alisa Newman reflects on the extreme weather in Florida, expressing a growing concern over the unbearable heat: 'As I'm getting older, I'm not doing well with it, At 6 a.m. it's 80 degrees and humid.' This highlights how age impacts one’s ability to deal with climate conditions.
Newman's commentary on the increasing severity of hurricanes in Florida underscores a critical concern: 'The storms are getting worse and worse, and people are in denial if they don't want to see that.' This statement reveals the community's struggle to accept the changed climate realities.
The financial burden of insurance is evident as Newman laments: 'Everybody I know got massive rate increases last year or were dropped by their carrier... my home insurance is a staggering $10,100 a year.' This quote illustrates the economic strain on residents.
Mark Friedlander notes the unpredictable future of Florida's insurance rates, stating: 'We're going to see double-digit increases again in 2024.' This points to an ongoing financial crisis for homeowners amid extreme weather.
