[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to upsize in early retirement- get a place on a ton of land, work and play on the land and have some fun.  Then downsize as my health deteriorates. [/quote]

Many people go into denial as they decline until something major happens or they feel fine up until the life altering diagnosis and they get rushed into surgery, start chemo and the last thing they can think about is moving and downsizing. you can downsize and go "play and have some fun" on lots of land for a vacation. If you plan to buy farm animals, please have a plan where someone can take them immediately if things go south. Often when one elderly parent falls apart, the other one does too if not physically, then emotionally or even cognitively. Have your fun but don't expect your kids to rescue you at the drop of a hat. My parents had your mentality and after enough rescues I had my own emergencies to deal with a teen's health issue, my husband and then myself. It truly did me in and in their minds it was "no trouble." [/quote]
