[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to move to a one level house in a lower cost area nearby DC and then use extra money to travel A LOT. When I'm old and can't drive anymore then will move to apt in the city[/quote]
The last thing you want to be doing is making a big move when you are so old that you can't drive anymore.

My MIL is now going through this.  The thought of moving now is very daunting for her.

You want to make that move before you get to that point.[/quote]

The concept of not being able to drive but navigate crosswalks in the city is laughable.[/quote]

Really? my mom has mid-stage Alzheimer's and can't drive but can navigate an NYC crosswalk just fine. As she says "even with Alzheimer's I don't get lost in Manhattan because the streets are numbered!"

Obviously she has an aide because otherwise she would set fire to her apartment but when she and I go out walking, she can walk and navigate the streets just fine. If I am living on the upper west side in my 80s walking to Fairway and get killed crossing the street, I would consider that a life well lived![/quote]
