My wife and I recently moved to TV and our situation is very similar to yours. I am 50, my wife is 52. We purchased our house for cash. My wife is an ER nurse at TVRH (the local hospital) and because she has some advanced certifications (CEN, etc.), her pay was competitive. I am currently substitute teaching (I am a certified teacher but prefer the flexibility of subbing). We sold our business overseas so neither one of us needs to work, but we both feel we are too young to retire and having insurance benefits without having to pay out of pocket is beneficial.

As mentioned above, 20% of home sales can be sold to those under 55.

We moved to TV primarily because my mother-in-law is in her mid-eighties and we were concerned about being too far away from her geographically if she needed us. We miss living overseas, but we are really enjoying living in TV.

PM me if you have any questions.
