3 thoughts on “Downsizing on the way to retirement”
I love how the relationships with people in their church was one the factors they considered when deciding to stay in the area!
This was such an interesting episode! I tried to imagine downsizing to fit all my belongings on a 32 foot boat and it was really hard to part with almost everything, especially all my sentimental items, so I feel for you, Jenelle! This is really an exercise of deciding what items are important to you and why.
Also I learned so much about boats! 🙂
Seems like an oddball idea. Glad it worked for them, but not very applicable to most of us.
