[quote=Anonymous]Not thinking now (still have kids at home) but in ~15 years when we are empty nesters.

We are in agreement about where to retire, but not sure DH will be ready to retire / switch careers when kids graduate HS and I really dislike where we live but don't want to force the issue at this stage and uproot everyone since it works for all the other people in my family.

So am I completely insane to think it could work for me to move to the retirement area when kids graduate and do some kind of splitting time / visiting between us until he's ready to follow?

Note this is purely a geographical issue.  I simply don't like where we live, and have given it enough time to think my feelings will never warm up beyond tolerate.  People are nice and lifestyle is good, but the geography is cruddy for me and I'm a person where that is of primary importance.

Note kids are elementary age and the older one in particular seems to struggle with transitions / being uprooted, thus my inclination to not pull the nuclear 'we need to move' at this point.  Just trying to figure out how to make it work for me.

And to answer the inevitable question: yes I work, and yes my job is portable.[/quote]
