It's no secret, I hate winter. Mountain winter is cold, wet, snowy and icy. These are bad enough but, the one thing that truly makes them nasty is wind, it magnifies the typical conditions exponentially. It is ferocious and unceasing and anything that can be blown away, will if not lashed down tight.
I have ten years to retirement, I am immersed in Spanish 40+ hours per week. One of my co-workers tells me that I could live like a king in Mexico for $500/month. Therefore I'm taking a course in basic Spanish then I'll have ten years of immersion to improve to the point where I can winter in Mexico, real Mexico not the ex-pat communities, and never see winter again. Hence, poor man's Florida.
