If you want it, and work for it, it can happen! We were like you - wanted to retire to 30A. Then, our dream morphed into wanting to find a way to keep working and move there after the kids were all out of the house. Now, we've both worked our way into jobs that allow us to work from anywhere, and our youngest decided she'd like to finish her high school years at the beach - so we're moving there this weekend! Dreams CAN come true!! Best wishes to you.
