Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I've been living at this same place for over 30 years. FIREd four years ago. Got a decent nest egg to FIRECalc for a long time to come. I'm gonna turn 60 soon.
Been renting all this time (at a very favorable rate, which has helped me FIRE sooner than later), in a community that I just love. Landlord just informed me he is gonna sell this place and move on--sometime in the next six months to a year. So, he gave me much advance warning for me to figure out my next move.
I've been visiting popular apartment rental sites, jotted down some notes, and will visit places soon--although it should be many months before I need to move.
Meanwhile, I've also been thinking about selling lots of stuff on Craigslist, letting my brothers/friends keep stuff, and putting the remainder in a storage facility at some $120/month.
At my age, nest egg, and health (which is quite good), I'm considering traveling Europe and/or elsewhere for six months or more. Life is too short, I'm mobile and have the cash, and Tomorrow Never Knows (as Ringo once said).
I'm thinking I can always come back to this area that I love, some time down the road after my travels, collect my stuff from family/friends/storage, and then Life Goes On.
This is a rare "Opportunity to Reboot My Life." Otherwise, I could just sign a lease for an apartment in the area, and continue what I've been doing for years.
