I can speak to that to a certain degree. There seems to be a growing number of people like me - not ready for retirement but really attracted to TV and the lifestyle. But my job allows me to work from home. As long as I have reliable internet and am reasonably close to an airport for when I need to travel on business. I've heard it referred to as "pre-tirement". So, I don't have to wait to fully retire to relocate. There is a growing club in TV called South of Sixty (SOS). I'm fairly sure the majority of that group have similar circumstances to mine. We may not fill all of the future voids, but will likely make up a part of them.
