The newly released 2010 Del Webb Baby Boomer survey, conducted by Harris Interactive for Pulte/Del Webb, found that 42 percent of today's 50-year-olds plan to move during retirement. The researchers found the Carolinas are now considered "the new Florida" among young and older boomers: 20 percent preferred South Carolina, while 16 percent favored North Carolina.

South Carolina is #3 and closing fast on #2 Arizona! (#1 being Florida.)

I have seriously been considering moving into a 55+ community in South Carolina (I'll be 53 in May and due to my back injury, I am semi-retired.)

South Carolina gives great tax incentives for retirees. They know they have a steady stream of income, (Pensions + Social Security.) Which leaves a lot of discretionary spending. (Most homes are either paid for or close to being paid for.) Retirees don't use the schools, at least not the lower schools (A lot take college courses.) Don't drive as much, so vehicle taxes are lower for them.)

There is a reason that Ft Mill & Rock Hill are leading the way at retirement communitities. Close to the action in Charlotte, and they are self contained towns.

Keep in mind, Mick Jagger will be 67! Paul Mcartney will be 68!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
