Its all about money and a plan B. I dont know your finances so I will just throw some thoughts out there. Ex mil husband died, hooked up with schitzo goofball, bought a new motor home and something minor broke on it less than a year later so they drove into a dealer and traded it in on another new one. A year or so later goofball flipped out on her threatening to kill her so she bailed on him and the RV and ended up in an income adjusted high rise senior building. So.....moral of that story is that with Soc Sec I think everyone is able to live somewhere decent.
A guy I worked with brother got a complete separation buyout from GM. $140,000 and thought he was rich so he bought a motor home and spent the rest traveling. Now the motor home is parked next to his in laws house in Tenn with a blown engine and they are not old enough for SS and developed no job skills working the assembly line. AND no health care.
Part of your question said they are in one place. Part of that could be money or they thought it would be great to travel and found they didn't like it. Maybe they sold the house and spent the money. Its not cheap to be moving. You can park the rig for $200 to $300 a month. House or RV makes no difference. Your net worth is doing one of three things. Its going up, staying the same or going down.
Have a plan B and get out there and enjoy as we are close to the end. This is your time.
