Who Else Will Retire To Full-time In 2018?

I retired almost four years ago and FT crossed our minds, so we took a four month trip hit all the western states and spent about 2 1/2 months in Texas. We enjoyed seeing all the sights, but learned FT'ing wasnt for us. Cramed into RV parks with a neighbor ten feet away just didnt fit our lifestyle, was happy to get back home. Besiides with 45 years accumalation of stuff i wouldnt want to just get rid of. We do plan on buying a new TT and traveling some but it would be for 2~3 months top. So I would advised anybody looking at FT'ing to try it first. Its just not for everybody.

That sounds a little like my situation, too. I don't expect to full-time forever because some day I will probably die. :) And I may also find that I don't like the lifestyle, like happened to you. But part of what I do think I can accomplish with this is that I have lived all of my life in Dallas and I think I want to try living somewhere else, but I'm not sure where. This adventure will help me to see more of the country and then decide if I want to continue roaming, or settle down in a place I like better, or return to Dallas. And so as I've processed all of this I think I will buy a used motorhome to start which will reduce my depreciation hit and put me at less financial risk if I decide to go back to a fixed address. And I will rent a vehicle to use as a toad that I could also use as a daily driver, if I decide to go back to a fixed address.
