That’s on the menus. Retirement phase 2 . My wife wants a house in the mountains. We have been discussing something with land. She would like to have animals, goats horses ect.... I see a lot of work and money. The care of the animals would fall to me. Our travel together has all but curtailed. We have 3 dogs she won’t leave them and travel with them is a real pain. I finally rented a RV and took everybody to the Great Smokey MT Park. We had fun, And now want a RV. I like the idea of boon docking she likes RV parks. She won’t go full time. We must have a house that’s non negotiable with her.
The second option is a lake house in the Mountains. We both like this one. A smaller property with a pontoon boat. As I get older less upkeep is looking better and better. It’s good to have dreams. Who knows with everything going on now there just might been another deal of the century out there for us. But I have a feeling we will be paying a more rational price this time around. The way it works is I keep saying no it costs too much. That just pisses her off and lights a fire in her. Then after Herculean efforts she finds a deal I can not walk away from. It’s not smooth or pleasant but it works.
