Where to live is a critical decision.
Urban/Ex-Pat Living
There is a growing number of Zoomers migrating into the city as their children leave for college. This is because there is a distinctive vibe downtown. You are not likely to find these culinary and cultural opportunities anywhere else. Here is a sample of High Rise Living.
Also, there are many Boomers and Zoomers moving out of the country. One reason is affordability. A beach-front, or mountain-top property may now be within your budget On the other hand, the downside may be the distance from family, the availability of infrastructure including transportation and access to medical facilities. But for the Boomer/Zoomer “chuck-it-all” wanderlust, this is an option to strongly consider. A popular destination for years and recognized by AARP as one of the best places to retire abroad is In Costa Rica.
