If you’re an empty nester, this is usually the big question.
Do we stay where we are? Do we downsize? Or do we look at a 55+ community?
What most people don’t realize is that these are three very different paths—and none of them is automatically ‘better.’ Staying put might mean fewer changes but more maintenance.
Downsizing might reduce space but not necessarily stress. 55+ communities work well for some people—and feel restrictive to others.
The mistake I see most often is choosing based on what sounds smart instead of what actually fits your life.
The right move is the one that makes day-to-day living easier, not just the one that looks good on paper.
