[quote=Anonymous]My parents have been talking about downsizing for 15 years. It would've been great if they did it before health issues and maintenance issues starting coming into play. But they didn't do anything because, I found out recently, they disagreed on where to go (mom, closer to me; dad, where they wanted to retire to 20+ years ago). I've tried to help them over the years (pay for an organizing/downsizing consultant, find senior living communities near me and near them, looking for places for them to donate items) but very little has changed in years. I've finally realized that nothing will change unless I "go nuclear": in which I do everything myself, from selling the house to getting rid of the stuff to moving them into a new place. And I do not have the bandwidth to take that on at this time. So the only advice I can offer is to accept how things are and be mentally/financially prepared to "save the day" at some point. [/quote]
