There are many more people in desperate situations that hung on to the sticks and bricks lifestyle than those that chose to be nomads. The biggest difference is they never had any fun.
My lifetime neighbor just lost his business & home to foreclosure. He managed to trade his last asset for a 5th wheel. When I told him lot rent in Florida was cheaper than heat in Ohio his eyebrows went up to where his hairline used to be. I think he's going to migrate with us.
I try to not let the perils of aging become the perils of traveling. Loss of income? Loss of mobility? Poor health? Sure, they're going to happen. Whether I travel or not.
In my case, hanging onto a property with it's taxes and maintenance would drag me down quicker.
I calculate I'll be retired about as long as my working years. When I figure out how to do it, that will be my children's "Legacy". How to age gracefully. People are living longer now. When I told my son, "We'll be old men together" BOY! did he have a shocked look on his face!
