[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to move where my kids go.  Or be near them.  [b]I've asked my mother and father to move near me but so far my mother refuses.  She wants to experience the joys of SFH living as long as possible. [/b] I think this will only change once there is a serious health issue.  This probably works best for us because my dad is a PITA.

[b]None of us get the Florida thing. [/b]  And none of our relatives have done it.[/quote]

They can move near you and still live in a SFH.

It's not all that hard to understand the "Florida thing"...warm weather and no state income tax.  Personally, I hate the low sun angle in the northern states during Winter vs. the cold (though, I don't much like the cold).

Also, the kids I know that visit their parents most often (who did not stay near their parents) have a parent that moved to a place that is warm during the Winter...Florida, Arizona, California.

I plan on two moves...call it the empty nester move from 55-65...which gives my kids time to figure out their life situations.  Probably would then look to make another move to be near to one. [/quote]
