Home is the place you're used to, and chances are, it's just where you will want to be when you retire. The AARP found that 9 out of 10 people 55 and older want to stay at home as they age. We have a potluck approach to life. We'll take whatever comes, whatever the surprises. Bob Ragaini of New York City agrees.
Retirement communities are too homogeneous.
I really haven't thought about it. As for all those retirement villages springing up around the country, they're trendy for sure. Steep admission fees and monthly maintenance, not to mention the physical and psychological toll that comes with moving from home sweet home. And the truth is, even if you're worried about what may come one day, growing old at home doesn't have to be so bad. We love our neighborhood.
