Changing Times for Us
We have been snowbirds for two years now as we would spend 3 months in Florida and then me being a contractor would come home and work from April to Thanksgiving. I have read the full timers forum and both the DW and I realize that we need to have a base home but I will not be taking on anymore work after this winter. We started giving away things that we don't use any longer and will put the house on the market when we come back next spring. We have had an offer on a condo on a lake in NH accepted and will have a place to move to that won't require that I have to worry about care when we leave it to go camping.
To others out there that think full timing is the perfect thing, I just think that it needs a lot of thought as to who you are and the lifestyle you really enjoy. Also need to remember that health can change in an instant and the spouse would have to deal with a transition he or she may not be prepared for. Maybe I just think forward too much but for me I want to travel and enjoy knowing that the DW will be secure no matter what the situation. Also will be moving closer to our daughter and family in NH.:):)
