Living Among Friends (updated version)

The kids have moved away! What do we do now? Thousands of Baby Boomers have asked themselves the same question. They’ve looked for alternative homes, but nothing affordable seems quite right. Should you move closer to your grown children? Should you stay put? Rent vs. own? Move to the mountains, or perhaps the beach? How about moving to a smaller town? The good news is that Boomers will most likely live longer than their parents. (If you are sixty-five, you have a twenty-five percent chance of living past ninety.) The bad news is that most of us have not prepared to live that long. So, what are we to do? Regardless of your situation, you do have alternatives. Let’s make the most of the final one-third of our lives. Step back, relax, and take a journey with me as we explore housing alternatives, some of which I’ll bet you have not considered.
