Absolutely true, but you have to invest your money somewhere. Stock Market? Real estate? Both have risks/rewards. I'll bet on real estate in this case, as we'll also have a short term exit plan should something happen to either of us.

One thing to think about with buying property when you first begin full-timing is: do you really want to live there in later years? Some do, and that's fine, but after traveling to so many wonderful places, you just might find somewhere else that you would prefer to be in later years. We surely did. :)
