This will vary tremendously based on your income level and what you're looking for in a place in FL, so what's worked for some may not work for you.

Several folks I know who have done it opted to rent their primary home out for 6 months (Nov-Apr), and either had a fixed place down south or every year hunted down a different place to rent for 6 month.

However, and oddly enough this seems to be the more affordable route... Someone else I know bought an old liveaboard-sized boat for cheap (at auction it was cheaper than a car) did some minor repairs and now lives on it at a Florida marina when there and leaves it locked up when not. Many of these "liveaboard"-focused marinas are between $10-18/month/per-boat-foot which often includes electricity, cable, wifi, amenities, waste pumpouts, etc. Downside is insurance costs can be a killer depending on the boat and location. But hey, waterfront for cheap!

Thank you all for getting this post up to 50 upvotes! It's not much but I know this post is also #4 most controversial for this month, but it's getting there. I've gotten at least 25 people I know personally to send an email, not including any who's done it from this post.
There's a few other reproductive rights bills, including the right to sterilization w/o hurdles, and the right to contraception that can also be advocated for! I don't have a script for those as I already sent an email a bit ago when some of them were first introduced, but they're pretty closely related

You need a good source of recurring passive income and healthcare, and not too many dependapotomi (plural form of dependapotamus). I’m toying with that idea of snow-birding too but in an RV once my daughter finishes college in 2 years.

I have as well, starting Monday my phone started ringing every few minutes. I received about 40 spam calls in 24 hours, some numbers calling multiple times. I called my provider on the issue and they were able to change a spam filter setting on my account which seemed to help but hasn't fixed the issue completely. It's ridiculous.

I know a couple of people that did it. One was musician (guitar/singer) that plays pubs and another was a food truck. In both cases, they ended up staying in Florida full time after a year as the money was better. I believe Covid played a factor as well as Florida remained more open during.

So you agree female isn't always XX then? There's XY woman with ovaries. Which, wow.... Means sex isn't binary! It's bimodal, two points that have an overlap. If it were binary there wouldn't be any overlap. What about those who don't have either or have both? Which bathroom does someone with a vagina and penis go to? Which prison would they put into? You'd be forcing men into the women's bathrooms, especially those who literally have peni and ovaries who have lived as men, are treated as such. Why do you want to make women uncomfortable?

You're confusing sex with characteristics associated with sexual dimorphism. The only two categories involved in defining a person's sex are chromosomal and gonadal, and ultimately gonadal wins out in any case where the two can't otherwise be reconciled; what really matters for most medical and social purposes is a person's phenotypical, or gonadal, sex.

None of the genetic disorders resulting in "intersex disorders" creates a situation in which the functional sex of a living person is in any real question. The most compelling, case, obviously, would be weak or missing SRY, but we already have words for making distinctions between displayed characteristics and people's genotypes: phenotypes.
