I totally agree that "wasting" your last years is foolish, but I also understand that it's very difficult as you age, as you realize you must make the income you do have last, as prices rise (and fall), it is not "easy" to change locations/communities. For some, even for you, it could be. If sufficient money, and support from family or friends, but mostly if money is not a concern, then yes, of course, it is easy to just choose your desired community, have all the packing and moving done by a company you choose, make arrangements for any improvements you desire to be done in advance, and you move in an enjoy. For others, it's so daunting, and expensive, there really is no choice. I agree I too always thought "I have no choice" is just an excuse, but life and experience has taught me that sometimes people do NOT have a choice and just have to learn how to live with their decisions.
