Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

Rose, you sound like you figured it all out. I think you'll do well where ever you decide to go. Me, I would get a small place near a good hospital. My husband is 73 and I'm 72 , we live outside NYC, but there is always something that needs a doctor's attention and why not have the best. I have a small front & back yard and pay someone to care for it. It's just too much work and I don't enjoy doing it any more. I would just as soon move into a little condo with no yard at all but hubby likes the privacy of a detached house. We downsized years ago when the boys moved out and now have a small place that is easy to clean. Well that's it for me Rose, wish you all the best.

Oh, it sounds like your priorities and moves have worked out very well for you! Glad you have someone to care for your yard. (Wishing we could find that person here!) And, yes, I wish we had decluttered and downsized some years ago -- though we do appreciate where we live right now. But it seems that making a move is what needs to happen. We're not sure about the "when" yet. But I'm trusting we'll know when the time is right and that plans will fall into place. How exciting it must be to live near NYC. The co-op we hope to join is near Minneapolis/St. Paul, which also has much to offer (at a considerably smaller scale, of course). Wishing you and your husband well!
