We started fulltiming on 16 October 2005 two days before the closing on our stick house in MN. We spend six months of the year in Florida with our oldest grandchildren and six months in Illinois with our youngest. We both still have to work because my military pension doesn't start until my 60th birthday, but we wouldn't give up this lifestyle for all the money in the world.
We feel like we are on an extended vacation and really don't miss our stick house at all. We have our garden in Illinois and our potted plants in Florida.
The only thing Karen misses is decorating.
We plan to do this for as long as we can. Hopefully, it will be for at least the next twenty years or longer. Can't really rate our experiences as we only move twice a year, but right now we really love it.
