@beckboop13 i think this is a dilemma many of us struggle with. I am 72, husband is 74. We bought a vacation home to be closer to our daughter who had our first grandchild. She lives about 2 hours from that home. Our plan was to sell the home we live in now and retire to that area. Well fast forward12 years, my son who was living abroad back then moved to the town we are currently in with one child. He ans his wife have 3 children now and we attend school and sports activities and see them at least once a week. My other son is divorced and lives about 9 hours from our primary home. My husband still wants to sell our house here and rent an apartment He is tired of maintenance and upkeep on two homes. I would prefer to sell the vacation house because if i am alone i prefer to stay in my current town. Sorry to ramble on. It is a difficult decision, i wish you success in choosing the best option for you and your husband.
