Once they aged out of the RV lifestyle, they found themselves kind of rootless and wanting a permanent place that they had kind of grown into.
It’s honestly hard to say. I don’t think they would go back and change it, but it has its downsides. Especially for my aunts because they will outlive their husbands and find themselves needing to build a social network. I mean also true for the husbands, but they will not outlive.
Thanks. I often wonder about this. My mother is in her nineties and refuses to move to be closer to me and my family because she has a supportive community around her (including people decades younger than her). It makes my life more difficult as I have to drop everything and drive if there's a medical scare, which there have been a few of in the last few years, but I completely get how the community structure around her in many ways makes her day-to-day life easier and more fulfilling.
