Rv or condo for snowbirds?
This has to be a question that retirees have asked a hundred times in these forums.My wife and I retired last year, we are both 60.We have good health,good pension...life is good. But I cannot handle another winter in Northern Illinois. So that brings us to kick around the idea..do we do the condo thing like in south Florida? I have family in Cape Coral,I know the song and dance there.Love the weather,traffic is kind of a pain and ....we're too young.;)
We are in our part of life where we now have the freedom. We have worked hard our whole life,raised and college'd the kids.The problem is we have never been able to see the country like its to be seen.So why not grab the two cats,lock the doors and go? Seems simple enough...or is it? We could roam the south states for 3 or 4 months,come back home for the summer and enjoy the boat.Maybe take a month in the summer each year to see the big parks out west. Yeah I know...first world problems.BTW,we are not wealthy,just your average middle class retiree who have done ok.
I have done lots of reading on this and many other forums,all great information. I would be interested to hear from folks why they choose to go the rv route over a condo.
