Are
you entering retirement fearing that you may not be able to make ends
meet? You have a "little" equity in a home, or "some" savings but are
paying rent. Or no savings and are
paying rent. You know that you can't afford to stay in the high-cost
area where you have been, but don't know where to go?
One of our
volunteers faced the exact same situation, and has created a
special SeniorArk feature to show you what he and his wife did about
housing as they entered retirement.. This section is probably
not for those with lots of options. It is about going back to basics
in housing in order to survive in retirement. No, he doesn't live in a
van---down by the river. He lives in a nice home in a wonderful
community. This article shows us that there are affordable
places for retirees to live for
around
$50,000.
