Joined in 2016 to start my research. Heck we weren't planning on retiring until 2024. Circumstances changed so here we come.

You have me beat by a mile on number of posts, but I joined TOTV in 2008, and just bought my first home in TV 2 months ago. Visited friends numerous times, and rented for 3 winters before I could convince DW to take the plunge.
We are very happy that we spent the time we did scouting, as we feel we found the perfect location for us based upon our activities and where our friends are, and our new neighbors have been amazing.
The only downer has been the delay in getting furniture due to the combination of COVID production delays and a housing boom. I feel like I'm back in college living with very little furniture.
