Guilt about family left behind?

Wow.....you've had so many thoughts on this one! We too wanted to change our "lifestyle" at a young age. I was 56 and my honey was 58...young?? LOL We married as teens and the kids were grown and out of the house. I did the budget and with the house paid for, one of us needed to work just to stay in it. 5 BR and a large yard and garden to care for! It took me 2 years to talk him into going full time. We did on 5/21/14...almost 2 years now and we love it!! We winter "down south" and come back in the spring, to see the kids and grandkids. I did work the first 2 summers as a camp host to add to our income. This will be my first summer off!! We are excited to do some traveling up north this summer!! Yes, we sold the house and everything in it!! Are we sorry.....NO!! But, we have an exit plan for when we are ready. We live on our monthly income and leave the savings alone for a "rainy day". Take some time to figure things out, have no debt and a exit plan. Good luck :)
