I am a young 83 my husband is 79 and still runs a commercial real estate office. We live in Northern California and I have one daughter in Southern California and the other in Maryland. I have never thought of moving closer to either one of them. At this age people have already had their friends for years. We both still drive but if I didn't I would use Lift or Urber. There is also a door to door shuttle I can take. I don't drive long distance anymore or at night. We aren't golfers so don't belong to a country club and my husband will keep working until he can't anymore. I love spending time with my daughters and grandsons but they are busy with their own lives. I worked until I was 72 and socialized with a lot of work friends but since I've stopped working I don't see them anymore as they have all scattered to different states. It does get lonely at times and I do think if my husband goes before me I might move closer to the daughter in LA but then I wouldn't know anyone but her. This ain't easy.
