You’ve worked hard all your life, created a home, grown a family, and built up your assets. And now that retirement is here, you might find yourself thinking about whether to stay in the family home or downsize into something more manageable.
More retirees than ever are leaving the suburbs behind and opting for a sea change in the Redlands. They’re packing up the family home and downsizing to free up their time and money... and enjoy the fabulous village atmosphere.
As you head into your retirement years, you’ll probably understand more than ever the importance of keeping yourself fit and healthy.
Your parents have retired and their home has become too much to manage. So, what is the best move for them?
Now that you’ve retired (or semi-retired), you’re no doubt looking forward to heading off regularly for some adventure! Hook up the caravan or motorhome and explore Australia, fly interstate to stay with family or friends, or tick off those overseas destinations on your ‘must-see’ list – just about anything is possible.
When you’re picturing your retirement, do you imagine spending more leisure time or continuing on with your work? Are you looking forward to relaxing with friends and family, enjoying some gardening, getting to the golf course more often, or even travelling around Australia? Or would you prefer to remain at work, maybe take on a senior position, mentor colleagues, grow your business, or even start a new one?
If you’re one of the small percentage of retirees who has never driven a vehicle, then you are already well attuned to getting yourself out and about.
You’ve decided to downsize from the family home and move into community living. You have picked the perfect retirement village, and even found your ideal villa. Then comes the job of packing up and selling the family home. All big decisions to make!
When you start to investigate the Renaissance retirement lifestyle, you might be amazed by the opportunities your new situation will bring you.
There’s a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. It’s always good to enjoy a little ‘alone time’ to relax, clear your head, and recharge your batteries – and that’s especially true once you’ve retired.
