Baby Boomer Downsizing – Tell Your Story

If you are a baby boomer and haven’t thought about downsizing your life, you are likely in the minority. Unless you are abundantly wealthy or are already living the simpler lifestyle of an empty nester, downsizing should be on your retirement planning agenda. It’s certainly on ours. 

To clarify, when I speak of downsizing and baby boomers, I’m referring to selling the large family home and moving into something that is more appropriate to the needs of older adults who have finished raising their children. We want to spend less of our precious time and money maintaining the place in which we live. For some, this could include a complete relocation to an area having a lower cost of living. There are a number of financial reasons to downsize. In some states, property taxes alone can drive such a decision.

If you are – or want to be – on the downsizing path, are you willing to share your story with others? If so, I have a request. A writer for a prominent newspaper is working on a story about downsizing. He has interviewed me and is looking for others who are thinking about this topic. Recent economic events may have affected you such that downsizing to save money has become important. He wants to talk to you and perhaps include a little of your downsizing thoughts or story in his article.

If you are interested, send me an email (toughmoneylove[at]gmail[dot]com), use the Contact form,  or leave a comment on this post and I will take it from there.

Thanks.
