[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the problem, op?

Assuming you can afford the retirement home now, buy it and use it for vacations until your youngest goes to college and you can both move there together. Feel free to hang out there for longer stints if you want, but remember that your job of parenting your kids must come first until you drop them off at college.

What's the issue? Do you think your husband doesn't want to retire there anymore?

Can you name the area? Something to keep in mind: health care. The health care system in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, DR, CR, etc. is awful. The health care system in Florida is surprisingly awful as well. I have friends who retired to the USVI, Hawaii, and parts of the south and they fly home to DC or Hopkins for medical care. People need good health care as they age. Unless you are rolling in money and can afford to fly to a better area for doctors appointments, you might consider keeping condos in two areas.[/quote]

There may be no problem.  Parenting my kids obviously comes first and is why I'm willing to stay another decade.  The issue I am facing is what makes sense for the 5-10 years once kids leave for college but while DH may want to continue his career in our current area. My guess is it will just get harder for him to move as time goes on. But perhaps I'm borrowing trouble.  He knows (or should - I've said it multiple times) that I plan to move or at least spend 6 months a year elsewhere once kids are off to college.  So I guess I can leave it up to him what he wants to do if that's the case.
