    I’m 54 and plan to retire in 4-6 years. Plan to relocate to a different state, will have a house with large gameroom. I don’t plan to downsize my collection but maybe add to my collection as I’ll have more free time to play.

    I’ll buy more pins in the next 20 years because I’m sure we will see a ton of fantastic pins. I like the excitement of new pins.

    Quoted from schwism:

    I’m retiring the beginning of 2021 and had the same dilemma. Didn’t want to move since we spent a lot of effort getting things the way we wanted. Any more than two pins was going to be a problem plus the setup didn’t allow for long term projects.
    My solution was to buy a man Cave. A 48 by 20 unit with a 15x20 loft, climate controlled. About 10 minutes from home. Not for everyone but better than moving houses. Had 2 pins when pictures were taken, up to 4 going on 5. Still have 2 at home. Plan to swap machines between house and Cave from time to time.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    This is a great idea. When I retire will move to Florida currently have a second house in Florida but no gameroom. So it’s possible for me to rent a space like this while I look for transition to a permanent larger house.

    Quoted from badbilly27:

    Do share. So far FL is the one most often coming up. Love to hear of alternatives.

    Florida.

    No basement but might find a house with guest house clubhouse to make my man cave.
