I bought a place without them primarily so they could visit freely, but also so it would continue to be liveable for me. I'm young, but my hips joints are shot and I'll need both of them replaced at some point in the not-too-terribly-distant future.<br /><br />Thanks for this look at the different stages of retirement.

It's good to think about retirement potentially being in three phases.<br /><br />We do plan to sell our current two story condo when I retire just because of the mobility issue as we age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-49669178875056493102010-04-02T12:59:00.470-07:002010-04-02T12:59:00.470-07:00I kinda get where your boyfriend is coming from--I...I kinda get where your boyfriend is coming from--I grew up in ranch style homes, so I very much wanted the 1929 three story home with all sorts of french doors, coved ceilings and handmade tiles that I got. Of course, I was 43 when I got it--now at age 61, I can see that maybe stairs aren't always the answer!Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-33658406953097786682010-04-02T11:42:47.099-07:002010-04-02T11:42:47.099-07:00What an honest, thoughtful look at retirement.

That way it will be easier for us to get around as we get older, and/or when we get sick. But for some reason, he really, really wants stairs. Ugh.velvet joneshttp://abouttreefiddy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
