I retire in 21 days and my plan had been to move to another town in a few months. The place I wanted - a townhouse cooperative - has a waiting list of 22. I hadn't expected that as traditionally it's usually been 6. So my plan now has a few kinks. I'm trying not to lose hope about it. I am starting a certificate program in January for Instructional Design, will be cleaning out my present place, taking yoga and swimming and generally relaxing.
But now I feel that life is on hold, though I realize it's not - I'm doing things I want to do, just not in the location I want to be at the moment. The townhouse is a good choice for me because I'm not ready to purchase a place. I was really going to try out this town for a few years, save more money, etc.
How not to get discouraged and stay upbeat? Retirement in itself is the goal, but I wanted to do it elsewhere.
