Good luck Ron, this sounds like a tough situation, but at least you didn't buy a house in AZ before your MIL backed out.

Best wishes to you Ronstar as this will require a lot of patience on your part. It will be worth it and you will be glad you made your wife happy.

Congratulations on the sale of your condo! And on completing all of that decluttering. That is a huge accomplishment.
As for your MIL changing her mind about moving to Arizona, well good luck on that. I hope you, your DW, and your DMIL can agree on a path forward that will allow all of you to be happy.

Downsizing into a container was the best thing we ever did. If forced us to prioritize and to make decisions in a timely fashion. The container was only in the driveway for 10 days. It felt so good to stuff our mattress on the last day, close and lock the doors, and then see it taken away. A lifetime it would seem in an 8X8X16 container,
We planned ahead about what and how we would pack and load. Even then, there were some surprises.
Looking back, it was one of the best decisions that we made after early retirement. Blew out the cobwebs, forced us to change certain habits, and moved us toward placing more value on experiences, travel, family, etc than on possessions and things that in retrospect were of little importance to our lives.
Still not certain how the crowbar and the tile saw made it into the container though. The latter has since found a far better home.
