[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will stay in DMV near friends.

Might change this based on where kids move and if I/we need assisted care at some point.

It’s expensive here but starting over with making all new friends is a lot to handle.

Your friends will likely move though. If you move to a 55+ community, then you'll have built-in friends. My mom did this in her 70's and has never been happier. She had tons of invitations the very first week and there are so many clubs to join. [/quote]

That sounds truly, truly awful to me.  I am glad those places exist for people who like them, but I'm going to do everything I can to avoid them.  [/quote]

Different strokes for different folks. The point is that the plan to stay in the DC area where all your friends currently live might not work out. Almost every person I know who retired left the DC area within a few years of retirement. People say they'll stay but then their friends move away and they don't want to maintain their SFH anymore. Plus some don't want to deal with cold weather and high taxes.

Look around any UMC DMV neighborhood with SFH's and good schools. How many people age 70+ do you see still living there?[/quote]

We have no intention of staying here in retirement.  But we're definitely not moving to one of those warehouse facilities for old people. [/quote]
