Finally closed the deal on my house and the SOLD sign went up last night. I can't wait to get out of this house that I've been in for 53 years.
Good luck to you Debbie. I think we will both be much happier once we are where we want to be!
No more dealing with the gardeners/snow removal; getting up at 6am to put out the garbage because if you put t out the night before the racoons get into it. No more pool to maintain, which was a pain in the butt this year and only used 3 times; no stairs; no going down to basement to do the laundry - laundry room right inside my unit. Only thing is I'll have to replace all the appliances and washer and dryer (all old) but I can do that over time.

53 years in one home was far too long. I should have moved 2-3 years after Peter passed away; not stay here for 12 years!
one lived in a large home in Westchester County NY. Husband passed away and did not want to be alone inside the large house in a bedroom community. Downsized across town into a 2 bedroom condo with doorman, pool, recroom, and a 5 minute drive to all the shopping; mixed ages so not a senior ghetto, and people to socialize with during the day. She is as happy as a bug.Grandchildren were just getting their first apartments. Grandma took what she wanted for the condo, and gave the remaining furniture and household items to the grandkids who are just starting out. It is not always ideal, but saves a lot of money, stuff they really like becomes an heirloom, kitchen stuff gets replaced when worn out.
Another retired co-worker; both cancer survivors, sold huge house downsized into a 2 bedroom in a retirement community since she still undergoes chemo. He an engineer drew templates of all the furniture they wanted to keep. Laid out the plan in CAD, gave away to grandchildren, children, and charity, what they no longer wanted. They moved 2 towns away so close to doctors, and shopping. Went to visit and the new apartment feels exactly like their previous home.
And thank you Dirk, I know I will have a less stress. It's just very comfortable in here.
Best regardsRené.
For Dirk, nope not in FL yet...I'll get there. This is just temporary.
