I live in a small community in the California Central Valley.
I am in my 70s and the wife in her 60s. Our home is paid for, and we have family and deep roots here. But I have been researching where we could move if things got really bad.
Being retired and with savings we can live off of our Social Security. So we would not have any problem financially leaving. But leaving means leaving our family support, church support and everything we know about getting around our community.
So moving is not our first option but it is an option.
I am looking into Texas as a destination, not one of the big cities but a small community.
Right now I am also making a list of things that would trigger a move. The big one would be repeal of prop 13.
Sometimes I think living a long time is not a blessing.
My grandmother (who passed away shortly before her 100th birthday) said that living so long was not all it was cracked up to be. Grandpa was quite ready to go after the last small stroke left him so shaky that he was unable to enjoy any of the pastimes which he loved.
Now that I am 65 and subjected beyond argument to the satrapy of globalism, I "get" how a person views longevity with mixed emotions.
