I've been a member for a few years but I admit that I read a lot more than I post. With just shy of four years before retirement, my DW and I are starting to plan where we will live once we pull the plug on work. We've always thought that we would sell the primary residence and live in a lake condo about 100 miles from the family, because we love the area and the condo would require a lot less maintenance. As we approach the decision, we are faced with the fact that we have been blessed to live (within a few miles) of our kids and grand kids and that leaving them seems more like abandonment.
I'm wondering if anyone on this forum made the choice to move away from kids and grand kids when you retired, albeit only a few hours drive, and how it worked out? Any words of wisdom to help overcome the fear of regretting a decision as big as this, once it's made?
Thanks!
