Retirement,I always thought that was a figment of my imagination.I guess I'm there now even thou I still do the odd job when I feel like it,as long as it is short.
I always liked my work,whatever I was doing just could never figure out why people would work more than 6 months in a year when there is all this neat stuff to do with your time like going hunting etc.I guess this is why retirement kinda' snuck up on me.
A place to retire to,mmmm.Never really thought about that.If I didn't like where I was livin' I'd of done something about that a long time ago.
As for having medical stuff close at hand our medical system will fly you in an emergency to a big city.There are lots of places in this province where folks live their whole life in a remote setting.You don't need to be near a city to survive.I have had a few accidents over time.Some in remote spots.I'm still alive.I don't worry about stuff like that.We all gotta die someday.When your number is up,it's your turn.
I don't really want to suggest a place to live 'cause that is kinda' personal but if you don't like where your livin' now I'd definately do something about it sooner than later.

Always thought it would be nice to spend some retirement years in a small community on the mainland,then came grandchildren. Grammas going nowhere.
I admire the classical "leisure with virtue" goal of retirement, whereby a man would accept his decline with age but still contribute to society, albeit lightly.
Modern retirement seems purely hedonistic, with the aim to consume as much pleasure as possible before death. Qualicum, as Salty mentioned, is an intense model of this, where old folks who weren't bothered to raise children or even stay married now expect to be cared for by a contracting population and lament both the cost of services and the foreigners that provide them. British expatriates whose home country wasn't good enough and neither is their adopted one, decrying the socialism that ruined Britain but demanding the same government involvement here.
None of my grandparents retired before losing their driving licences, even as my grandmother was 79 and older than most of the seniors she cared for.
