Advice on retirement location
There’s a town that I visit often, even though it’s several hours from home. I love this town. I love its scenic beauty, climate, outdoor recreation, and the very kind locals. They have so many year-round community events, I often time my visits to experience their street music nights. Unlike all the many places I’ve vacationed, leaving here makes me sad to return home.
So my question. Financial considerations aside, do you choose to retire in a place that you love? Or do you need to be more practical, choosing somewhere with top notch medical care? I’m very healthy now but know that can change in an instant. The town I described has a level 2 hospital, but for specialists, residents travel 3 hours away. Is it foolish to want to live there regardless of this issue?
Thanks for listening and for any insight you can provide, you ladies are wonderful.
