Summary:
You´ve dreamed of retiring in your favorite vacation resort for your whole life. There are some things you need to seriously consider before you take the plunge and buy your retirement home there.

Details or Sample:
Every summer you have spent time in a wonderful little town. The minute you arrive there you feel yourself exhale. This, for you, is truly paradise! You tense up as the day of leaving for home and to go back to work looms closer, and you begin to think, “Some day I’d like to retire here!”

Before you retire in your “paradise” there are a few things you need to consider. You have been looking at the place through those rose colored sunglasses. It is now time to really consider if this is the place you could “really” live in.

Consider taking a vacation to the same town in the winter. That beautiful little Victorian ski resort that you have spent your summer in may look completely different covered in three feet of snow. Do you mind being snowed in for days? Does snow driving stress you out? Test-drive any town you plan on retiring in by visiting the same town during different seasons of the year.

Get a feel of the different areas of town you might consider purchasing your retirement home in. Drive by an area at different times of the day and at night. If you like peace and quiet make sure that you are moving to a neighborhood that provides it. Consider a retirement community of folks fifty-five years of age and older. These communities offer safety, activities and friendship. If you prefer to live out from the town on land of your own, check the property tax records and get a feel for whom your neighbors will be. Make sure that you are close enough to others that if you need help you can find it easily.

How active are you? Most seniors now live a lot longer and healthier then their own parents did. When you spend a week somewhere it seems as if you can’t fit all the things you want to do in your schedule. If you were living in the same place, with all the free time in the world, would there be enough to do to keep you busy and active?
