Florida is popular retirement destination in US and comfort living cost there for 2 people is about $50K annual without taxes. Part of the high cost is that most people in our generation won’t have paid off their mortgage and monthly $1500 expense is expected just for that. Add on the top property taxes, high cost of medical, high cost of smart devices, phone plans, eating out even once a week - etc. If you have kids who are still dependent then you can easily add another significant chunk.
