The Kids are Grown and Gone, The House is too big, Maintenance is getting to be too much and you have been thinking of downsizing.
What should you consider as you plan for your retirement?
For active older Canadians, retirement opens up a whole new world of opportunities and one of those opportunities is finding the perfect retirement home.
It's not an easy decision. For many retirees, leaving their family home is an overwhelming experience both physically and emotionally. Preparing yourself before you make your move can make all the difference in the world.
Before you start looking, here are some things to consider:
Do I want to stay in the same neighbourhood? It's been your home for years. Can you leave behind friends and acquaintances and say goodbye to your trusted doctors, friendly shopkeepers, and familiar surroundings? Where would I really like to live? Do you want the diversity and cultural opportunities of a major metropolitan city? Is it time for that home in the country? Can you bear the Canadian winter?

I hope this helps you,
