Apparently it's just me, but I've always been perplexed by the whole "exit strategy" thing. Our exit strategy is, when one of us can no longer travel, we'll stay parked in our home in the place that suits us best. What's difficult about that?
I do NOT want to live in a house again. I do not want the expense and worry about upkeep. I do not want to rent an apartment and worry about the rent rising and me being unable to move, or renting a house and being forced to move when the owner wants to sell/move in themselves (both of which I had happen to me when I was a renter).
In all of the living situations I have had over the years, one of the happiest times of my life was when I was single and living in a trailer park. It was tiny and well-managed, and I was surrounded by a community of supportive people who helped me with anything I needed.
So by all means, have a plan for the rest of your life, but why does it need to be an "exit strategy"? Join Escapees and investigate their Care Program.
