@thisismarilynb I with you. I am 80 and my wife is getting there soon. We currently live in a 2500 sq ft house, a pool, a 3 car garage, a boat, etc. Our plan is to move into a 55 and over condo (way over for us) 1700 sq ft, 2 car garage, no boat in 3-5 years. You are spot on about finding a better solution than what you have come up with in assisted living. I don't want to be a burden to our three children and I don't want them to treat us like toddlers. If necessary I will follow the path George Eastman took.
