What are your plans to downsize and move? How do you feel?

We are so ready to move and downsize, but not sure where because my husband still needs to go "into the office" several times a week.
Our neighborhood has changed; when we moved in it was all young families with kids our kids age, but as the kids have grown those families have moved out and younger families have moved in.

Ideally I'd love to wait a few more years and move into a 55+ community somewhere in the south west like AZ or NM. Maybe my husband can arrange more fully remote.

No it hasn't. It's still filled with families with young kids.

You have changed.

Agree. We are now the old people in our neighborhood but when we moved in 25 years ago we were the young people with pre-schoolers. Many of the original people on our street have moved. We will move in the next 5 years.

We're the old people too, only in our mid-50s. But most of our neighbor friends are empty nesters and we'll be there in two years. I hear kids playing outside and feel like they were mine just yesterday. There's no way I'm heading to a 55+ community from here tho
