[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pros, cons, any regrets?
We don’t need our giant home anymore. We like the idea of no more lawn and external maintenance. But wondering if trade offs are worth it?

I would look into nice condos or nice apartment buildings.  Could you possibly keep your home and rent for a year and see if you like it?

My in laws had a giant house and they downsized to a beautiful townhome.  Even though the work was done for them within two years it became too much.  They then sold the townhome and moved to their second home, on a beach, thirty minutes away from a hospital or grocery store.  They both have had many medical issues within the last 6 months (and they are both very healthy and active my 75 year old FIL looks in his 50s and still has abs just so you get the idea on how active they are) and imho should get a second place in an assisted living facility.  That way they can go get food at the restaurants if they need it make their own.  They keep balking but my husband and I live a flight away and their other child who lives within 30 minutes rarely if ever does anything to help them.  They just want free babysitting.  Just things to think about.  [/quote]

They don’t need assisted living yet.[/quote]
