A lot would hinge on the “never move” part as well.
I’m not certain I’d want to move from the house I’m in. But I’m open to Air BnBin’ this fucker part of the year.
“New” house might not even be out of ear shot from this one. But it’d be 100% off grid, with a private beach and next to no neighbors aside from whoever wants to pay me to sit on this couch I’m on right now.
Property taxes are unbelievably low here. With no utilities or additional mortgage I’m not worried about getting jipped on it being something I can afford. Especially with income from other people using my toilet.
Really don’t want to be so old I’m opting for free healthcare here. Little disappointed in myself for it being my fallback. But alcohol and weed aren’t going to count under groceries, my mortgage isn’t a bother, don’t want to wish I was overseas all the time and I effectively stopped flying domestically over a decade ago. Luxury car isn’t something I want (pointless, the roads are mostly dirt). No fucking medical bills really stands out unless I get some serious riders on this new house I can’t move from.
