i seemed to get a lot of new patients who had moved in to the austin area from california
many had sold their homes they had lived in for 20+ years
they bought larger homes with bigger lots for a lot less money than in california then used the money left from the sell of their homes to retire on
there werent that many folks moving in the other directions since many couldnt affor to buy homes in california
these are the issues we faced when we decided to go the wrong direction and retire here to santa barbara
being a minimalist type folks anyway
we made the decision to do just that
be minimalist
so we looked for an entry level condo where we could move the money from the sell of our beloved country n into a new place to live
we went from a 3000 sq ft house with 10 acres and a 1200 sq ft barn to a 1200 square foot condo
using this minimalist approach and a change of how we wanted to live we moved forward
and
a year later we are quite content
i get to garden and do my volunteer work
my wife she gets to see her family and ms b regularly
we have chickens like in texas they just stay at the communtiy garden
we walk to many of the places we go to like the farmers market downtown or uptown the grocery store lots of restaurants relatives the pharmacy clinics the hospital the bank etc
i dont have to mow or weedeat anything
i put that energy into hiking walking gardening
we are a couple miles from the beach
we are a mile from good hiking into the foothills of the mountains
im ok with it
my wife she is ok with it
folks are always saying
we want to move to santa barbara
well if you got a million
in this article
you can see what you get for a million
no it wont me anything like what we left behind in texas
remember most of you will be going moving the wrong way
it should be west to east not east to west
unless you got a lot more than a million
here is the article
see what you get for that million
yep
were ok with all this
were happy
