Our original exit plan was 3.5 acres and a nice home which was paid for...had been a second home and get away retreat when we worked. After several years of being full time, it became an anchor which required lots of work the few times we made it back there.
We sold it and purchased an RV lot in south Texas that is fully maintained. Costs us more annually, but we just park and have nothing to maintain and it's gorgeous AND paid for...added benefit is we can rent it out when we are not using it over the winter.
When we are done we will park and live in a beautiful, gated community with all the amenities we could want...that is our exit plan!
