Seniors

I have moved a number of times in my life. Also, that I didn't get married until I was over 30, and didn't buy my first home until about five years later. Then, after a divorce, I moved about 800 miles away to start a new life.

While I honestly see the appeal of staying in the same place for decades, I tend to see that as a potential mistake. People become absolutely determined to stay in their own home long past the time when they can really do so. I'm 72, so a couple of decades past the time frame you're talking about. I fully expect that somewhere down the road I'll move into independent/assisted living. And it doesn't scare me at all. Meanwhile, I'm beginning to get rid of the some of the stuff I've accumulated since I bought my small home some 12 years ago.
