Retire, most people here haven't even started working yet.

When I retire I want to live in the woods, possibly surrounded by a small moat.

A little hut in Copper Canyon, Mexico. With some tequila, a shotgun and some dogs.

The cold hurts my knuckles on my right hand because I have some joint damage from boxing. I can tell when its going to rain sometimes. I think the cold makes mine feel better when it acts up.

I don't know. I see a lot of ripe old healthy folks up in northern woods Wisconsin.
Besides, going to Florida opens you up to the big cancer-machine of the sky aka the Sun. Plus, those hurricanes are just one huge hassle.

Its nice and peaceful up in the mountains and countryside. Besides, there is no such thing as cold weather, just bad clothing

You could always go up to Darwin and do something really dumbarsed that ends up getting you killed, and sort of live up to the name.

The World Islands (http://realestate.theemiratesnetwork.com/developments/dubai/video/world.mov) in Dubai, custom made islands to resemble the Earth. (Not yet done, but should be once I'm retired)

I'll probably aim for Southern-France, Italy or Spain though as The World Islands are intended for billionaires and I'm only aiming to become a millionaire. :|
