Of course, that meant we would have to move. The company had flew me and my husband out to see the new location and paid for us to get tours of the area. The tours covered showing homes, schools, shopping, entertainment, etc. What really shocked me was the housing prices. For $250K, you can get a nice 4 bedroom and 2 bath house with a big yard.

She and her husband both have full-time jobs. After the eldest son move away for college, they sold their home and moved to Arizona. With that money, they bought another house in Arizona and had a good chunk of money leftover to put into their retirement. This new house is 1.5 times bigger than the one in CA plus it has a pool.
