Guilt about family left behind?
I am ready for us to quit our jobs, rent out both units in our two family house and live on the road...permanently...my husband (John) needs some convincing. Our son will be 24 this summer, so he does...

We were 47 when we hit the road. DH wasn't sure he wanted to full time so we rented out the house until he decided if he liked it. After 6 months on the road, we went back and sold the house and have been full timing ever since.
Both our mothers lived in the area and were in their 70s. We went anyway. Since then, one has moved to Arizona and the other lives with her daughter. They are both happy and we talk to them often, more often than when we worked and lived there.
Bring up the subject with the parents and ask their opinions. They might surprise you. Try a trial period - 3 months or 6 months - let your husband set the boundaries.
