Like summer feeling personal. Like your electric bill trying to fight you. Like realizing “low taxes” sometimes comes with a few trade-offs nobody mentioned at the welcome center.This isn’t one of those videos that tries to sell you a dream. It’s the honest version—the one people usually figure out after they’ve already packed the moving truck.If you’re thinking about retiring in Arizona, already live there, or just enjoy watching other people question their life choices in extreme heat… this one’s for you.Let me know in the comments:Would you rather deal with brutal heat… or brutal winters?You can also follow us:Facebook: World According to BriggsInstagram: World2BriggsDo you want to move to that perfect place?Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?
