We visited many times since 07. Didn't buy our first house in until 2010.

Full retirement didn't come until 2015 for one of us and the other is still working full-time . Since only one of us lives here full-time it doesn't seem that stressful More like a very long vacation. We spent lots of time with our financial advisor before we made any decisions.

We have slowly moved stuff down taking our time since we still have our other home. Must have stuff first, and when there is no more room will sell everything else.

TV is not for everyone and we made sure by renting it was the place for us. Of course we have also moved the normal 2.5 times in TV to different areas.
