Agebuzz Asks: This Week’s Reader Poll: In response to the Sept.19th reader poll regarding moving, almost half of all respondents stated they continue to live in the place they have called home for many years and are aging in place. Many were quite happy that they had continued to live in a familiar space. However, a sizable number of respondents said they had left their original home and moved to be closer to family. Some described long-distance moves only to be disappointed with the availability and time spent with family once they moved. Others described the need to downsize either due to the death of a spouse, the need to lower the cost of living, or the inability to upkeep a large house anymore. Several of you described the emotional turmoil of moving, downsizing, getting rid of possessions, and finding friends in your new community. It’s very clear that moving is challenging, regardless of your age, but when you are also dealing with such other life challenges as financial difficulties, familial disruption, or impaired health, moving can be an overwhelming experience.
Bonus question:What has been the most challenging part of being a “solo” ager? |
The Last Word
“As I got older and things got more fixed and I couldn't do anything about them and I had health problems - a couple of heart attacks, long hospital stays, this, that, the other - when things get settled like that, you make a deal, or you don't, and that is to use your remaining time to be as productive as you can and to have as good a time as you can. That's how I'm trying to live these years.”
