Hopefully, no one will pay too much attention to the naysayers and haters that pop up on forums from time to time (like this thread). Some people take what they don't understand and throw it back as if that person is doing something wrong. To each his or her own. If it works for you then it is right for you. Having someone take an introduction and twist it around into a lecture is unfortunate but these should be ignored or laughed at since you can't any of it seriously.
Enjoy your time with the family, enjoy the savings and continue to reap the rewards for as long as it makes sense to you.
I used to fulltime where ever the weather was good. My job changed and now I fulltime mostly where the weather is not. We go where it's cold in the Winter and hot in the Summer. Strangely enough, it's all still good!
