Anyone have regrets about having gone full-time? We would like to hear about any that have decided that it was NOT the right lifestyle for them and why. Thanks in advance!

I just retired form Southern California a year ago. I sold my home (of 20 years) in Southern California for double the price I paid. Had I waited another 12 months-I could have sold it for additional 30% over the price I sold it for a year ago. That's REAL WORLD!
Just double? In over 20 years? Not really all that spectacular. We did much better with our IRAs/403bs.
I'm glad you made money, especially since you seem to equate that with happiness. We moved quite a bit, so the longest we ever owned a house was 13 years. Yes, we made money when we sold it, but not that much, nor did we buy it just for that. You must realize that a lot of the rest of the country didn't see the same thing that California did in terms of real estate. So maybe your preception is somewhat distorted.
But back to the initial question - are you a fulltime that regrets going fulltime? If not, are you a fulltimer that has no regrets on being a full timer?
