Empty Nesters
The kids have left for college and have moved into homes of their own. You look around at the house you’ve raised them in. Although you have so many cherished memories within its walls, it suddenly seems too big, too much work to maintain … it’s empty. Something smaller would be easier manage, easier to clean, and allow you to save money for the retirement of your dreams, but what can an apartment give you that you don’t already have here in the home of 20 years?
