Ah, investment. I spent my working years deferring income, deferring vacations, deferring purchases, deferring fun things. Just so that at this time in my life, I can, within reason, thoroughly enjoy the time I have left. My home in the villages is not an investment from a financial standpoint. It is an investment in my ability to enjoy life. I have made more friends here than I did in 30+ years in my prior home. I have played more golf, seen more shows, traveled, volunteered, and many other things since I got here.
My son eventually will own this house for whatever it is worth at that time. His problem, not mine.
