Someone once told me don't rush to grow up (meaning getting to retirement age) .......we will all get there soon enough. Think of the ole saying the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence......yes retirement is a great goal but believe me age can bring many unwelcome issues we all will face sooner or later. Hopefully you can use these 2-3years to better prepare yourselves for retirement wherever you may end up.

The issues of finding a meaningful job in and around the TV area and the need for health care insurance are very real so I don't think anyone would recommend a move at this time until you are very comfortable with your situation before you make the move.

We are not in our 20's or 40's any more . That said we made a move to Europe when we were in our late 20's where we lost approx 40 percent of our incone because one spouse had to give up a job. Yes that was a shock...we were not forced to do it....but it was something we both wanted to do. We had the best 4years of our life, travelled throughout Europe, made new friends who are still very close friends today.best decision we ever made.....BUT..". We were young, had time on our side, REALITY starts to set in when you in your 50's or 60's and we need to be prepared.

Good luck!!
