I'm pretty sure we'll end up with a two phase retirement. Phase 1 will be out west so I can spend 20 years fulfilling my childhood dreams of being in the mountains. Phase 2 will probably be back in southern Illinois where we have very close friends and a church community we love, and easy access to public land and water that you don't have to risk your life to enjoy.This is a great post.
My parents recently sold their retirement farm and moved back to town because their local small town hospital shut down and emergency care was an hour away. They also got less and less interested in busting ice and working the stock into their 70s.
Watching it play out has been educational. I have always dreamed of a big spread in the middle of no where, I’m now leaning towards a smaller place within 30 minutes of a stable hospital.
