Might this be a solution in keeping it postive

I live alone. I have no family close by - a cousin I like in CA, but that’s basically it. I have a few friends - two in NYC, two in CA.

I know that in my early 60’s I am probably strong for my age. But I will be getting older. And less strong.

So, the thought is.... should I investigate assisted living situations? Or senior communities. A place where I can have everything I need nearby… and not feel as if I am leeching off friends to go somewhere or do something.

I would like a place where lifelong learning is the most important goal. Not sports, but exercise, yes. Activities, but nothing one HAS to do. Compatible people. Might that be a dream “retirement”.

It would have to be when I no longer work.

Would I want to move out of NYC? I am getting tired of no elevator service - three times this summer; no hot water - fairly regularly as it’s an old building and they’re constantly working on the plumbing. But NYC is the capital of the world in my eyes.

I started to look into one companies sites - $11,000 a month! But that’s in NYC. Don’t know.. just started thinking this way.
