Welcome to the future retire's club. We retired 6 years ago. Time flies. Our last year we lived in our motorhome while we worked to see how it would be. We still have our house, but only use it for storage, laundry, showers, and toilet during the day.
Many of our friends had sold their house, and our now buying a house again. Ours is an old farm house, and we don't pay that much to keep it up and taxes so we always have a place. We are in our drive right now.
I highly recommend it over the alternative. Although the body doesn't want to keep up with my mind. I have replaced teeth, and now cataracts in the last month, one more cataract to go, and then off the AZ. for the winter.
