My wife and I live in South Florida. We are both 55 Florida is a "world" where everyone sells their houses every few years, constantly moves from job to job, state to state, and all are 'living' for one goal; retire as soon as possible! We are the opposite; 20+ years at our jobs. My wife would like to semi-retire at 67, then work part-time. I want to work until 85 (50 years on my job at that time!), and we are still living in the same house for 25 years. Instead of moving all over, like everyone else, we rent a house, for two weeks, in a different part of the country, every year.
With so many people around us constantly 'selling and moving,' (all our neighbors have changed every few years), we sometimes think that we are not doing the right thing by "staying put!"
I think we are on the "right track" with this. What do the rest of you think?
PS We would like to have a summer home. My wife and I are considering Maryville, Tennessee. Anyone know the area?
