[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not so easy when crisis hits ... [/quote]

Yeah but are they 60? or 80? No reason for a 60 year old to live like an 80 year ... because something might happen sometime. PP, in your situation, the time was right for a big, necessary, urgent change - good post.

You never know when the crisis will hit. For some it’s at 65, others at 95. And it’s easier to get settled at 65 or 70, when you are in relatively good health than wait until you are 75-80 and it’s much more difficult. And you never will have the perfect time to move. At 65 you think you are too young to move into  independent living in an CCRC or retirement community. But at 70, you’ll also think you’re too young. At 75, still too young. [b]At 80, my mom still didn’t want to move because she’s too young and everyone is old[/b].

My mom says the same thing! She will be 80 in January and moved to a CCRC last month. She is so upset because everyone is so old. Her husband died 9 years ago and she refuses to move up here from FL so she is alone with no family nearby. But at least now she is making friends who are happy to see her and be with her, as opposed to the younger crowd in her former apartment who just smiled and said hi as they passed her by.[/quote]
