I said "not yet". But a recent injury may have impacted my spouse's ability to work his highly physical job. So, your list may actually help me now, even before I retire.

We retired in place with no plans necessarily to move. Our daughter would like us to move to the Hill Country of Texas to be near them and it could be a possibility in the future, but not at the moment. Our oldest just moved to Hawaii with his family and although I'm sure we will enjoy visiting, can't really imagine living there (but hey, you never know). Luckily our youngest son and his family are close by, so we still have family near us. We have done some traveling in the past, but except for visiting family/friends elsewhere in the States have no real yen to see more of the world. Our world is here with family, friends, and grandchildren.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-39111876339449528262017-10-20T16:08:14.319-04:002017-10-20T16:08:14.319-04:00Love your list.

We traveled extensively in our 30's and 40's (Asia, Europe, North Africa and most of the US) We decided travel to see fly mom and then staying stateside, in general, would more fit what we want to do. With six grands living within a few hours of us---going to DisneyWorld,the beach and a camping trip of the West trumped Israel! Who knew!

Medical bills also hit me hard when I first retired. Diagnosis of serious diabetes was an unplanned monthly expense. So yes, being flexible is a requirement.Barbarahttp://www.babybloggingboomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-31438187267397632522017-10-19T17:16:43.442-04:002017-10-19T17:16:43.442-04:00I am enjoying your recents posts in regard to reti...I am enjoying your recents posts in regard to retirement.
