Here’s a quick and easy online poll. Best of all, no strings attached – Many baby boomers have seen their retirement nesteggs shrink in recent months, due to the economy. But, let’s dream a little … if you had adequate retirement funds to live just about anyplace, where would you choose to retire?

Boomer Dilemma – Are We Traveling Together … or is it Potty Time Yet?
Going on a long car trip? It might be even longer, if you’re a baby boomer who needs … um … more potty time.
Great poll. I can't imagine retiring anywhere but where I live in Auburn, California.
If I had the chance and money and family responsibilities were no object, it would be Charleston, South Carolina. A beautiful city that is small and walkable, but with fine dining and a sense of history. I love that town.
We have begun our research as to where we may want to retire. Top priority for us is walking distance to the ocean as well as a "small town" downtown, and our "what-we-want-list" looks like this – must have one awesome burrito place; tip top martini joint; good, spicy Thai restaurant; locale for that perfect cup of morning java (Starbucks/Peets are “okay”, but a neighborhood brewery would be ideal); local brewery with just-right-suds; corner grocery store with a bit of everything; bakery for that fresh morning or afternoon pastry; and a wine shop with a nice diversity to satisfy our love of good vino. Based on this, we are leaning toward Pacific Grove in California!
CLEARWATER BEACH FLA -in a heart beat -!!! Gone yesterday .
Retirement? What retirement? I'm in my late 50s with 2 small kids still at home. I figure I've got at least 20 more years of shelf life left in my profession.
As for where I'd go? No need to relocate to paradise when I already live there. Laguna Beach California, population only 23,000, is perhaps the most beautiful coastal town in California with very active art & theater scene, great restaurants, close to major universities, close to 3 major airports, very close to several beautiful boat harbors, has pristine beaches (consistently awarded cleanest beach & water in all of SoCal), practically non-existent crime rate, a beachy-yet-cultured population, and a very quiet-laid back feel. Only drawback is a rather hefty pricetag, since Laguna Beach is among the most expensive zip codes in the nation. No worries … I'd rather work forever and be able to stay put than retire to a lesser place!
