Right now we’re sandwiched… caring for elderly in-laws, kids in grade school. We’ve got a pretty sweet deal for our needs – large lot, custom built granny flat, good schools.
As a bonus – the granny flat will produce income when the in-laws no longer need it. And when we’re ready to downsize when they kids move out -we can move into it – and get better income from main house as a rental.
If kids and in-laws are not in the picture then I’d be looking at something even more coastal than UC – that’s single story. Lots of places to choose from.
Or maybe a fabulous yacht and slip. That would be cool. A million could buy a pretty sweet live aboard.
If it’s a million total – can we take money to make improvements on our current house?
