7. Well-off pensioners are a thing of the past
The era of taking your fairly handsome pension and moving from the Midwest or Northeast to retire in Florida is now past.

Pensions, except for government employees, are a thing of the past for most workers. And the baby boom generation hasn't been saving enough to retire in Florida -- it's move in with the kids for them.
