A Simple Downsizing Guide for Your Golden Years For many seniors, retirement signals a new beginning. As such, making the transition to retirement is an excellent opportunity to change up your environment and move somewhere more suited to your retirement lifestyle. Whether you want to live in a cozy beach bungalow, a condo in the big city, or a tiny home in the country, downsizing your life will prove incredibly rewarding. Here are some resources to help you navigate this pro...cess! Find Your New Home Paring down your possessions will be easier once you know the size and location of your new home. Start by calculating your home buying budget. Find a great real estate agent who knows the area where you’re hoping to buy. Look for homes that will accommodate aging in place. For example, steer clear of homes with steep front steps! Avoid going too small. Look at this as a chance to right-size instead of buying the smallest home you can find. Sat Goodbye to Clutter Downsizing and decluttering go hand in hand. As you prepare for a simpler life in your smaller home, get rid of all that stuff that no longer serves you. Research some common decluttering methods and pick a strategy that makes the most sense to you. Modern Retirement recommends starting with small, non-sentimental items like clothing and downsizing large furniture at the end. Try not to hold onto things you don’t need, don’t use, and don’t like just because they have sentimental value. You should be able to sell, donate, or recycle almost all of the stuff you don’t want anymore. Plan Your Move Moving is always a frustrating and stressful process, especially if you have a long distance to cover. Plan it out so you can stay organized! Postal Pack and Ship plus can help you pack those large, fragile, or awkward items so they’ll stay safe and secure during your move. Book your movers at least one month in advance at least two if you’re moving during the summer. If you have pets, make a plan to keep them safe on moving day. Downsizing is a popular retirement trend that facilitates a simpler, easier, and more affordable life. If that sounds like the perfect way to retire, start your downsizing journey today. Hunting for a new home and sorting through your possessions can be a lot of fun! Take it one step at a time and your hard work will pay off before you know it.
