I have always wanted to retire near a river or lake. I realized how much I looked forward to fishing trips and have rented a houseboat a few times, so retiring near water was my goal. It is more expensive, but the whole point of living near water is to enjoy it, whether by fishing, swimming, or water skiing, so I figured waiting several years would be well worth the price. A bittersweet circumstance (the passing of a dear aunt) left me with a simple lake front property, and I moved in three years ago.
