FWIW.


Many people like to vacation in a specific area. We found such an area
along the central coast of California. for 20 years we would take a
vacation rental & move in for a week or 2.

At vacation time many people notice a shift in mental attitude. Mistakenly
they can equate the shift in attitude to the area. They think "If I could
only live there I would feel like this all the time." An obvious trap. If
they sell their primary home and move to the area and ultimately find out
they've made a mistake and move back to their original area all they have
accomplished is to support the Real Estate sales profession and the movers.

We decided to rent along the central coast for at least one year (our
special vacation spot). That was 2 1/2 years ago. Yep we like the area
very much but we're away from our children & grandkids. We're in the process
of moving back into our home & then we'll decide what is the right decision
for our retirement. Deciding to rent was one of my better decisions. I
don't make many wise decisions.
