IMHO, housing is, in many ways, about lifestyle preferences. As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, we absolutely love traveling and living elsewhere, but, since we were fortunate enough to buy properties in San Diego at, (by today’s standards) such reasonable prices, especially in RSF, this will always be our home base.
Also, we want to stay near our grown children (ours all live and work in CA). We also love our extraordinary medical care and all of the other amenities we enjoy here. As you get into your 50’s, as we are, you begin to realize how important these things are.
In Jazzman’s case, especially since he has dual citizenship, his plan seems perfectly suited to his desired lifestyle, and I wish him the very best, and welcome back BG–sounds like you had a great trip!
