We were planning on moving to our "forever retirement home" some time within the next two years. Sadly, circumstances forced us to change those plans and we moved last year instead. We couldn't afford the home we were hoping to get, and had to "settle" for less. Mainly, we wanted a site-built home, and got a manufactured home. We couldn't be happier in our current neighborhood, everyone and everything here is awesome. But I'd much prefer the laundry room to be inside the house instead of outside in a shed. And a golf cart garage that I didn't have to worry about ripping the side mirrors off the cart whenever I drove in it (the garage door is only 4 inches wider than the widest part of the golf cart - scary!). And a more modern kitchen, with a dishwasher and oven that weren't obsolete 10 years ago.
But everything works (for now, knock on wood). We'll probably upgrade in around 10 years which is when we are most likely to be able to afford it.
