We are moving to Fenny (I know there is a prison and no GC access right now).
My fiance was a millionaire and then 2008 happened. His neighbor across the street lost 20 million dollars and not more than a week before the crash his Bentley was delivered. They sold it, bought an RV and never looked back. I lost a lot as well. We will never be that status again, but still have investments and savings. By the way, I shop Goodwill and so does he. Nothing wrong with that and I have some beautiful things. We are frugal, but still like to cruise. There isn't a flat anymore in London, or trips to France. That is ok, I did not love him for the money when I met him.
During that time in history, I was talking to numerous people that were getting "the boot" at their companies. The story was the same, they worked there for years and the fired at 64 which meant their retirement did not go with them-they trusted the company to take care of them and did not diversify their money.
My fiance has beginning dementia and I am a nurse that specializes in that. I hope to keep him out of a nursing home for a long time. There is a nest egg, but I know it will go to healthcare eventually. We are not wealthy by any means and I would put us in the modest category. But I have seen what unforseen health issue will do to a bank account with some of my former patients. Beautiful homes to as close to homeless as you can get.
But back to the initial question, we are moving to TV before we are priced out. I feel we can have a support system and being from Texas(Houston) everything is closer to us at TV. It also gives Charles a chance to exercise, and get out of the house. I cannot wait to get there.

Welcome to you both. Things are probably going to work out. What was was and what is, is. You are into reality I hope you find it as great here as we did. Modest is perfect. I'm grateful for Modest.
