My kids, grandkids, son in law and his family are all giving some serious thought of picking up and moving to Florida from their home in Southern California ( Inland Empire ).
They have already contacted people to sell their home and like the profit in their equity that would allow them to purchase a nice home and still bank a substantial amount too.
Of course they want us to go as well, but in our 70's and the very thought of moving to an area unknown to us, never been there, and I am sure a huge leap from our serenity and slow life on our island in the Pacific Northwest.
I can think of many reasons why we should, but I speak from ignorance and only see an upside peppered with lots of hope.
I would really appreciate any advice and firsthand experience from those who made a similar life change as well as those who have called it home for a spell, etc.
So much contradicting information on the internet, etc, and the deeper you dig into the more confusing it gets.
I don't think we would move until we visit, maybe land on the west coast by Tampa then cross over to the east coast, and just try and get a feel for it in a week, if possible, maybe in June.......
THANK YOU in advance!
