      Thank you for your excellent videos... I cannot believe how helpful your insights have been... I might have made the mistake of moving to NH but for your HONESTY... I am now debating between TN and FL... Hard hard decision... But I think with the better weather in TN you made the right decision for yourselves... I plan on traveling out of FL enough to avoid the oppressive summer heat...

      I relocated and retired early after meeting a great guy on a cruise. Now, I'm working again. I wasn't ready to fully retire. Some people love it and some people want to get back into work in new ways. I like people to go for whatever they think they might enjoy.

      FORGOT to share something with you... Perhaps you can answer this ⁉ When I go up to Vermont (near Littleton NH) am amazed at the fruit and vegetable PRICES and spoilage (horrible choices)....
      One would think that being in "farm country" would have an abundance of fresh everything and LOW prices.... Quite the opposite... Can you explain that...
      I might have retried up there but the quality "food desert" issues repulsed me...

We originally moved alone as empty nesters. Thankfully, our kids decided to join us, one by one, and now we ALL call TN home. Yes, we live outdoors the majority of the year and love 4 mild seasons. You will love your retirement here in TN!😍

      Thanks for watching and sharing Brett! People are so very nice there. It's crazy that people actually hold doors for each other and actually make eye contact when walking by them with a pleasant greeting! When we were hunting for property in TN we actually were driving down this semi-remote road and a landscaping company was working on the property and waved to us as we drove by. We nearly ran off the road in shock. It's just a different world there from where we are now.

It has been 26 years this past June and I was able to have 18 years in retirement with my husband before he passed. I am so happy you have the ability to do this now. Only God knows how long we have on this earth, so to be able to have retirement when you still have the ability to enjoy doing things together is a wonderful thing. Maybe your parents could be with you as well during the coldest part of the year in NH. Looking forward to updates as you post them. Have a Blessed day.

    I get what you’re saying about the sense of community. Our primary home is in the country and we don’t see our neighbors much. Most of them are busy working. Our mountain home is the opposite. We have a much smaller lot and it’s easy to just walk around the neighborhood and visit the neighbors.

    Guys this is a great idea and very interesting, shame about the falls that you have had in snow and ice by just walking 😯 Tenessee sounds amazing and does sound like a great move with a great community with a lot to do at the resort community and sounds like you won't be getting injuries hiking as there is not much snow and ice !
    Love the look of the progress on your house, its going to be beautiful when its finished especially having that lake there :) So good that the builders are not rushing you to get it all done and wise to sell your stuff instead of the cost of moving it. Its brilliant that your kids are going with you too. Why not persuade your parents to join you ? So good ~ Anna

    • @OurRetireEarlyJourney

      Thank you for watching and the feedback. Maine's climate is the same and the more north you go can be even worse than we get. We aren't comfortable providing the actual location as it would be easy to locate us. We hope you understand. It's always a little weird putting all this out here in general. We will say there are a bunch of communities within all of TN that are similar. They do have some near the Knoxville area. We do love Knoxville a bit more than Nashville, we will be in there again in a few months. The temperatures on the eastern side of the state are much more moderate than in the middle and western side of the state due to the Smokies & Plateau.

      @OurRetireEarlyJourney  27 дней назад

      Thanks for watching and the question. We chose a resort community because we are social people and as we age we generally become more isolated and did not want to be in the woods alone forever. We wanted to be around other people that are social as well and have "built in" activities in a master built community such as hiking trails, gym, pools, lakes, golf courses, tennis, racquet ball, etc. We love that the entire community is manicured and looks beautiful. It's very strict, but we actually like that. Lastly, we like that we have our own police, fire, churches, grocery store, restaurants, assisted living facilities ect all accessible within minutes.

If you do a search on google for these type of communities you will get a list of 7-10 of them. The great thing about TN is the climate is different throughout the state. If you want really hot summers you can find a community that is in the middle or western part of the state. If you want more mild summers, the eastern side is where you would need to look.

      Appreciate you watching, subscribing and sharing Rich. We would rather not give our location as you never know putting that information out there online. I hope you can relate that you don't want people knowing exactly where you are. We will say there are a bunch of resort communities in eastern TN that you can easily find online. They all do have an HOA, but honestly we like that. We like that all the homes are nice and lawns are manicured. Everyone there takes the same pride in the appearance. It's not for everyone, but its high on our list for a retirement destination. The HOA is in the low $100s, which is nothing. Our parents live in a community here in NH and pay nearly $700 a month for their HOA and all they do is cut their grass and plow/shovel their snow. It's outrageous. Our HOA will cover our sewer, water, garbage and provides access to all amenities in the community for close to $100 a month. We pay for garbage, septic and water here in NH, so the monthly lift for us is only $20! And if something goes wrong with our septic or leach field here in NH, all that costs are on us.
