We’re here! How did you adjust?
I am 61 and my husband just turned 60. I’ve been on disability for health reasons since 2000 - there’s good days and bad. During Covid my husband worked from home and I realized what a stressful job he had. The company offered an early buyout in January, and it took about 30 seconds for us to decide to take it. We had already spoken w/our financial advisor and had our retirement ducks in a row. He retired at the end the end of March.
We intend on moving to either the St Pete area or somewhere with an hour or so of Vegas (our son will be in 1 of these places). We are thinking of selling our home soon and either renting or using air B&B until we make our decision. We want to take advantage of selling in this market. We would like to travel, short trips and maybe 1 or 2 more extensive trips a year.
Any opinions on which area you think is better?
Did you “test drive” a location before buying somewhere, if so, how did you go about it?
Was there anything you were not prepared for when you retired? How did you meet new people?
Looking forward to living the dream!
