[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not retired, but a mid-30s widow. I took a leap and moved to one of the Georgia sea islands after my husband died. I started out looking for a condo and ended up finding a perfect little bungalow a block from the water. I grew up in the north and I can tell you that I regret nothing about being warm year round, living on island time, the wonderful people. I’d take a drive down the coast and find a city or island you like, then consider the real estate options. Some areas trend toward certain options. [/quote]

Sounds nice, but what do you do for work?[/quote]

I continued working for my Atlanta-based company, although my job has changed from BD to global acquisitions. I travel about 50% of the time (which was the case living in ATL as well) and am otherwise remote. There’s something like 11 flights back to ATL daily, so connections aren’t an issue and my life is a vacation every weekend.

For the other person who asked, we have a mix of people who go into the city for work, fisherman who leave out on boats for a week to month at a time, about half the island is retired, and the others are in the service industry. The Port of Savannah is a fairly major shopping port, so a decent amount of work there, as well as the Port of Brunswick. Gulfstream and Daniel Defense also manufacture here. [/quote]
