Where do you want to grow old?

I don’t know about uprooting to be near a family member. What if they decided to move, or their job forced them to relocate? I say this because years ago my daughter wanted me to move across the country to live near her in California. Now her and her husband are living in Virginia. And then she asks me to move there?! 🙁 no thanks, I don’t wanted to be stranded in a different state by myself.
I have friends that this happened too also.

We thought of that. They probably won’t move as they are both tenured professors.
Also, we should move somewhere. We live on Gulf Coast and are too old to keep evacuating from hurricanes. Our homeowners insurance went from $300 a month $850.
My oldest and closest friend lives an hour away from my son. They have a big house and we will live with them for a few months while looking for a house.
I have no other family other than my children. My daughter and her family are moving to Baltimore in May 2025, so we will all be together.
I guess I need advice on the practical aspects of the move. That’s what I’m overwhelmed by. Sell? Give away? Put in storage? The last time I moved, I was 25. We threw it all in a friend’s truck. Those were the days.
