<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3095147, member: 19463&quot;]We all make choices where to live.&nbsp; When retired, the options would seem to open up and allow those who think access to Europe is a benefit to move next to a cheap airport.&nbsp; I had my fill of travel (including a lot of TDY to California) long ago so my easy access to an airport never struck me as a benefit.&nbsp; I do, appreciate places like the BM putting their collections online.&nbsp;&nbsp; My supper tonight was a huge ear of corn on the cob (9 cents on special sale at Lidl).&nbsp; Two ears would have been too much to eat.&nbsp; We all make choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear our collecting hobby will die since young people don&#039;t want things like coins but experiences like travel.&nbsp; I hope some of them change their minds as they age.&nbsp; Perhaps people spend ten times as much to live in certain places (NYC, California, London etc.) because they are willing to pay more for the privilege of paying more.&nbsp; Why they still live there when they retire escapes me.&nbsp; For the price of an efficiency flat some places you can not quite buy Biltmore but it may seem that way.&nbsp; Everywhere has its good and bad points.&nbsp; We moved to be where we are because it seemed like a good place to be in retirement.&nbsp; I wonder how many of my neighbors considered proximity to Europe when they moved here.&nbsp; I just returned from taking my wife to the easy in/easy out airport.&nbsp; I never knew I had it so good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
