You don't have to want to retire early, but if you're a white collar worker not saving/investing an uncomfortable percentage of your income, you're potentially in for some pain. But if you already live well below your means & have a nest egg, you'll be able to weather the storm.
How much of this is boomer retirees moving or changing their residency to their 2nd homes?
States with no individual income tax (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, and others) consistently rank among the strongest gainers, while states with the highest top rates (California at 13.3 percent, New York at 10.9 percent, and New Jersey at 10.75 percent) dominate the list of largest losers.

Just talked to a boomer complaining about their Medicare payment since they make too much and IRMAA comes knocking.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Men used to drink for mental health. Then they started going to therapy. Now they monitor the situation and gamble their faces off.
How long until boomers start lowering their list prices??
"In September, 1.5 million Americans were trying to sell their homes, based on the number of active listings. Only 929,000 people were buying, according to Redfin estimates. The surplus of sellers, nearly 600,000, is the largest in Redfin’s records going back to 2013"

Nuts. And he cramped up 2nd half.
Vinny Mauri, the 25-year-old from Warren, Ohio, who did 70 percent of his fall training on Planet Fitness treadmills, finished the Chicago Marathon in 10th place in 2:06:45. He was the third American, behind Clayton Young in seventh (2:05:23) and Charles Hicks, another 25-year-old (2:05:35).
