My younger brother said that old people are moving into them in droves. He says, $500.00 a month for a rental space that includes all utilities and internet wifi...no yard work or other obligations. That's within reach for even people on only SS if the RV title is clear.
(I wonder about the $500.00 rental amount though.)

At 80 years old, I'm finding my 3 BR 2 bath with a one acre yard a bit of a burden.
(My lawn mower broke down friday.)

It's Always Something.

My wife and I have thought about moving on to a boat, but unless you can do most of the maintenance yourself, it quickly becomes less of a bargain than you think.

Hi, Blam! Great to see you!

I hear ya! I know for certain I will be moving to smaller quarters if I lose Beau. The plan is to sell off the house and 48 acres, keeping the land at the west side of the property with the established tree-line as a backdrop. My ‘Tiny House’ will fit in there just perfectly - once I move all the Guy Junk out! It is also adjacent to my greenhouse and established raised bed gardens. ;)

Renting out the crop land will keep me afloat financially and the new owners of the house/48 get the PLEASURE of plowing and maintaining the mile-long driveway out of here!
