Marc and Arlene, SO glad to hear you have this adventure in front of you! I'm sure you will consider everything, the housing, the job, the travel in the future, and come up with just the right formula to have it work for you. Okay, like Kathy, I, too, say rent your house and depreciate. Not that you have to listen! You are smarter than all the rest of us, and will work everything out for the best!
