There are usually two main reasons that discourage near-retirees from downsizing: the hassles involved in getting rid of all their accumulated stuff, and the fear of change. We get it! And we’re here to help.
Facing Change Together
Decluttering our lives can seem like such a burden that we don’t know where to start, so we give up before even trying. As we age, we also tend to cling to the familiar, often choosing to remain stuck rather than venturing into the unknown.
Such paralysis, though, comes at a steep price. Like a heavy anchor, it prevents us from sailing onto new adventures, experiences, travel destinations, and spirited discovery which should be the hallmarks and highlights of our latter years in reward for all our hard work raising a family and building wealth.
Simplifying our lives and cutting loose can be painful, or it can be liberating, depending on how we consider change.
Sheri Koones, author of ‘Downsize: Living Large in a Small House’ says that the word “liberated” was the one most often used by the homeowners she interviewed for her book and who had recently downsized. “Most of them missed nothing they gave away,” Koones adds, “and are happy to live a less cluttered life.”
So what if you could find someone to help you lift the heavy anchor? A trusted and experienced partner who can and will do most of the heavy lifting is essential to this kind of transition.
