We are not in a position to own 2 homes so we will have to decide on staying up North and just renting in TV for a couple of months when we retire; or selling our perfect big home up north and moving to a lesser home in TV so we can afford to travel up north often.

I think I know what I want....to move to TV; but have concerns. You see, we are conservative types from the Midwest. Our relationship to our friends, family and church is HUGE for us. I am not sure that we would fit in. I also get concerned that living for my own desires will just make me a selfish old crab. I know it is a choice; but maybe that is just my problem. I am not saying you all are selfish old crabs ...it is just a fear that maybe I would become one.

We can't make any moves currently... cause we are too young; but am defintiley giving it much consideration. I beleive we will move to the TV one day if we can sell this home but....another fear I have is that.... if we decided to move back North.... that we would not be able to sell our used home and would feel stuck.

Any thoughts on any of this? Anyone else have these same thoughts? Miss family too much after the move?

My oldest grand daughter does not want us to move. We do think investing in the grands lives is very important for them and for us. Sorry to ramble, guess this post hit a nerve for me.
