Trying to take this in small steps We are cleaning out and fixing what needs to be so the house can be listed. House hunting in the villages starts on Oct 26 for 5 days then it hope the house in nj sales fast so I can retire and move to the Villages
I would like any input thanks for listening  |
If you were not concerned I would think there was something wrong with you. This is a really difficult time in your life. You are selling your home where your children grew up, you know all the neighbors, you know everything about your town. You are leaving a job, or jobs, to go somewhere new and live on a fixed income for the rest of your life - very scary.
We were fortunate in that my husband's company had a pro and con seminar where he had to sit down and put down the good and the bad parts about retiring (and never mind moving), then we had to tell the kids we were going to move and leave them and our grandchildren ............. major guilt trip.
It all came together, we moved, love our new neighborhood, love our new life which is now (8 years old) and the kids have adjusted to us being here and not there! Things will be fine, you will get used to being part a new neighborhood along with all the other people going through the same emotions and insecurities as you.
