I disagree, Scaredy. If you pay off your mortgage, and manage your stuff… you can own a home and have mobility. The key is setting up your home for reduced maintenance – xeriscape the yard, etc…
And stuff – you can always get rid of stuff.. that doesn’t matter whether you own or not. Regular garage sales are good for the soul and wallet.
Heck – that’s our retirement plan – travel for 8 months of the year, do the home upkeep on the breaks at home. We’ve been working the house and yard to be as low maintenance so we’ll be ready for this.
