We anticipated on going 3/4 time when I retired this past April. However, things changed and I went back to work full time in early Nov for 4 1/2 more years.

More than likely our monthly CG budget would have been less but my philosophy has alway's been to plan for the worst and hope for the best. I figure if we can't realistically budget $1500 per month for CG fees then we either go el-cheap-o which we don't want to do anymore or we stay home. Nothing wrong with el-cheap-o...we've been doing that for decades. We just don't want to do it anymore in retirement...which has now been postponed for me until August 2019.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
