We combined retirement with moving from Maryland to Florida. For us it was perfect timing to test full time RV travel.
That was in February of 2015. We have been on the road ever since.
We gave most of our belongings to our kids and friends.Kept our keepsakes and just enough to get started again. Put those items in storage in case we didn't like full time life or for a medical emergency.
Every 6 months or so since, we ask each other if we still love our lifestyle and are we still happy? Almost 5 years later we do not see an end to our adventures.
This lifestyle is not for everyone. For us, it is simple life filled with experiences as a couple and with our kids and grandkids. We are grateful for this life and happier than we thought possible.
We have adult children and grandchildren in Maryland, South Carolina and Tennessee that we see often and so thankful that we can.
We have family all over the country, it's fun to visit new places and rekindle relationships with cousins etc.
The items in storage went to one of our kids basements a couple of years ago. Pay them instead of a company now.
No regrets. We went into this with our eyes wide open. I suggest in your situation, that you do same.
Good luck.
