Wanting to buy that 'retirement home'

20 years ago

My husband is 52 and I am 48. With the last child in college we were starting to dream about buying that home down south -enjoy it now on vacation and live there most of the time when we retire. We are far from wealthy, but could have swung another mortgage payment if we were careful with our money. Well as luck would have it- our bubble got burst while we were thinking. My husband got laid off after 16 years on the job. He now has a contractor job almost as much as he was making but no benefits. I still have my job which is almost enough to pay our bills without the new dream home. Do we give up our dream now that our security blanket was taken away or is life too short to always wait for that perfect financial time?

thanks

Linda
