SNOWBIRDS
HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA (AND ESPECIALLY IN THE MURPHY AREA), THERE’S AN
AFFECTIONATE TERM FOR THE FOLKS THAT LIVE HERE PART TIME AND SOMEWHERE ELSE
PART TIME – IT’S KNOWN AS SNOWBIRDS!
IN THIS WEEK’S BLOG WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE BECOMING A SNOWBIRD – JUST IN CASE YOU’VE EVER BEEN
CURIOUS. NEXT WEEK WE MIGHT EVEN TACKLE
THE TOPIC OF THOSE THAT MOVE AWAY
FROM THE HEAT TO A MORE TEMPERATE CLIMATE IN THE SUMMER! 😊
FIRST, WHAT DO I MEAN BY THE TERM “SNOWBIRD.”
ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, “A snowbird
is a person who moves from the higher latitudes and colder climates of the
northern United States and Canada and migrates southward in winter to warmer
locales such as Florida, California, Arizona, Texas, or elsewhere along the Sun
Belt of the southern United States, Mexico, and areas of the Caribbean.I GUESS WIKIPEDIA DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THE SNOWBIRDS OF THE CAROLINA’S!!
NO MATTER
WHERE YOU LIVE, BECOMING A SNOWBIRD INVOLVES MOVING TO A WARMER CLIMATE DURING
THE WINTER. VERY OFTEN, IT IS A PERSON
IN RETIREMENT THAT BECOMES A SNOWBIRD BUT THAT ISN’T ALWAYS THE CASE –
SOMETIMES IT IS SOMEONE PREPARING FOR RETIREMENT TOO.
HERE’S JUST A PARTIAL LIST OF THINGS
TO CONSIDER:
LOCATION
FINANCES
HEALTH CARE
TAXES
RESIDENCY
RENT VS OWN
PROPERTY MAINTAINANCE
ORGANIZATION OF PAPERWORK: EMBRACING THE CLOUD
