• We thought about this when we moved to our current town at age 55. We weren’t interested in condos, having been in an association when we were younger. Ended up with the smallest house on our street, 1800 sq ft. First floor primary and laundry. Smaller lot than before. Hoping to stay until one of us is gone. Chris

• Catherine, I feel the same way you do, averse to debt now that our house is paid off. I am saving right now to pay cash for a new (to us) car. We proactively replaced our 20 y/o refrigerator this week before it failed. With cash. Chris

• Andrew, I am so sorry that you lost Tory and Jonathan so close together. My deepest sympathies, we had similar. I agree with what Linda said about addiction being in every family. It is in ours too. Thank you for sharing Tory’s story. Chris

• Glad to see someone talking about the retirement of the baby boomers and how it affects the economy. I see a lot of talk about “the great wealth transfer” of the boomers, but in our experience, the nursing home gets it all in the end, not the heirs. Chris

• I wonder about the average age. I feel like I am younger than a lot, but maybe not. Chris

• Great post, Mark. We had a sleepover with our granddaughters over the weekend. Today we are going to take them to the local thrift store. Simple pleasures. We are certainly blessed. Chris

• Sanjib thank you. I learned a lot from your post. I clicked on Dan’s link to your non profit and see a couple of articles there I want to read. I always appreciate you trying to teach those of us HD friends who are still learning and don’t know as much. Not all of us were business people and know all the terms used here on HD. Chris
