Where to retire is second only to financial planning in the retirement issues one must consider for a successful retirement. While most people decide to retire in place in their family home, others are relocating for a variety of reasons. Ask yourself
• Do I desire a permanent move or the option of change with a second home?
• Do I long to be closer to (or farther away from) family?
• Do I wish for a warmer climate (or a chance to enjoy changing seasons or winter sports)?
• Do I want a slower lifestyle (or more variety)?
• Do I need to be closer to specific medical facilities for health reasons?
• Do I require a place with a lower cost of living (or do I thrive on city life)?
• Will I be able to satisfy other items on my wish list if I choose one of the above options?
