When you retire will you move somewhere else or stay in familiar surroundings?

When I retired, I bought a timber farm and moved to it in a rural county of Ohio close to a state park Jackson Lake with Wayne National Forest and Shawnee State Forest and several Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio River close by me. I have my lifestyle, but I never game up the love of the woods, lakes, streams, ponds, and rivers to hunt and fish in and upon.

My family comes and stays as well as lifelong friends as if they went to a state park lodge, then there are phone calls, texting and all the social media crap to keep in touch if that is your thing to keep in touch. Whenever my daughter finishes her veterinarian degree in equestrian and large animal practice and settles down somewhere. I told her being my only living child that I would self my farm and invest in her future farm with her placing my half in a trust to beat the inheritance tax shit, heck it all goes to her anyway, so leave Uncle Sam penniless I say. Especially after all the years they had taxed me while I was alive. So, I have one more farm move in me.

Good luck and you will not lose contact with your friends and loved ones, but for me I found peace and quiet with added noises when I want them.

Be where I currently am because it's familiar. Not because of friends or family, which there are none.

Went to both highschool and college here. I know it's history better than most, because I am apart of that history.

Few here can say that. Because it's changing all the time.

Stay

I'll stay. I like the climate and the city. Plus I'll still have friends and family in the area.

I would love to move to a Kentucky or Tennessee but I can’t be that far from the grands so we will stay here

Prolly move to Europe but that will not be for some time.

I don't think I will ever retire.

Stay!!

I'd like the nostalgia, but perhaps there will be different nostalgia in the future as i move around

Gus, if you had a new home ( move in I hope 9th Dec ) in this area.............. would you want to move ?
