Hello...I'm so glad I found this site. I will be retiring at 66 1/2 in 6 years. My husband will take early (62) retirement this coming January. After we are both retired we will move to North Carolina to be near the kids. Our current home is paid off. My drive to work is becoming a problem. We live in a very busy area of Florida and the 26-mile drive to my work is taking me longer and longer to get there and get home. Drive time can be 1 hour to 2 1/2 hours or more. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that drive in a few years as I get older and the area grows even more. It gets very stressful and it's exhausting. My children want me to sell our home now, buy a home in NC, rent it to someone, use that money for us to rent a home near my work. Sounds great however I'm worried about the increase in income. Moving now is not an option. My job is a fantastic job and I won't leave it. I would appreciate any and all suggestions! Thank you!
