| The people I know who did this were older parents (esp older dads) who essentially retired and started the snowbird life while their kid was in middle/high school. Kid went off to boarding school, dad retired and started doing the snowbird thing in FL or AZ. |
I have relatives who do this and they are from beach towns that shut down for the winter. Their parents go to Florida every winter for other work. I think it works out okay for them. |
