Well, I think there's more than just that. In our case, having two homes turned out to be a PITA. The three-day drive to and from Michigan, the fact that we had no house sitters to look after the MI house, the fact that there's a short window of good weather in MI (thus a lot of time on the road for about three to maybe four months of decent weather). Finances did not really enter into the decision to make this our full-time home. Weather and driving did. Although I will admit that we have no grandchildren, and now no more children in Michigan. So the decision became easier.
