Well said. Short and sweet.

And so true. We never know when this roller coaster ride we call life is over.

We're close to retiring. Our plan is to snowbird at TV until our grandkids get older, then move there full time. My wife is retiring next August. I was planning on October 2023.
But I'm starting to rethink that date.
The thought of spending another winter here in Indiana is kind of depressing. Yes I can make good money working 1 more year, but I'm starting to think I don't want to waste another one of the precious years we have left.

Yes, prices are too high there. But they are here as well. Yes we could wait the market out and gamble prices go down. But my wife is 66 and I'll be 65 in March. So we don't have the time to wait. lol

Our lifestyle visit is Dec 30th for 7 days. If we like it we'll be buying there asap.
