From one retired person to another, downsizing is the best move you can do as you get older.

Chef Jeffrey, congratulations to your beautiful apartment. You are definitely a wise economical shopper. Please be careful on how much you share of your personal business. It's no one's business how much you sold your house, or what you are going to do with it. In all due respect everybody does not have your best interest at heart. We love you and just want you to be safe. Also, enjoy your RV, and looking forward to more road trips.

I like your new place. For the past few years,I’ve been on a donations journey w/the goal to donate at least 50% of my things. There’s a lady in my town that handles estate sales. Just in the past year,she & her team have handled at least 10 estate sales in my neighborhood. My point is when we transition🙏🏽🕊️,someone else will take possession of our things. Even if your family&/or kids want all of your stuff many of them don’t have the means,room or desire to take possession of all of your things. Spend time making memories instead of spending money buying things. Safe travels,Chef J❤️. Everyone,take care❤️.

Thats a smart move, chef!! My husband and I downsized when our kids graduated college. Its very liberating. We use the extra money to travel. Going on 2 cruises this year. Its a different stage in life so no need for a big house anymore. We've been talking about buying a RV too. We are truckers so we are used to living on the road.
