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

NOT FOR EVERYONE - At 70, just turned 78, I sold everything and moved to the Philippines in high density veterans area a few blockes from a VFW. Although many would be unable to adjust I have a livein caregiver for $400.00 a month and a maid 5 days a week for $200.00. There are hospitals that take tri-care and VA FMP nearby. It is primitive in some ways but many advantages. HOWEVER no medicare or private insurance. Tough on wheel chairs but there lots of them. There are thousands of veterans here and many non vets. To me its better than a "forget me" nursing home! I will send my email if any busted up old coots ask for it!

I admire your courage. I’m so glad you feel positive about your move. I think it’s important to follow your intuition now, at an older age than ever before. Sounds like that’s just what you did. It’s my experience that we know ourselves better so I say “go for it”.
