“Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci
The anticipation of life in retirement
on a fixed income is a humbling experience.
But seeking out more simplicity in retirement is more than just living
comfortably on what you have saved. Thoreau
went into the Walden Woods to try and live as simply and as richly as he
could. It seems that those contemplating
retirement could also benefit from getting into this state of mind. We each get to define a retirement lifestyle
for ourselves. If we can shed unwanted
costs and some of the things we have gathered over the years our lives can
become more meaningful in other ways.
As our lives progress, we create a
family, gather friends and build relationships.
These are surely the richness of life.
Unfortunately, we also accumulate a lot of stuff like a home or two,
vehicles, boats, RV’s, furniture, clothing, and keepsakes. While these things help us to enjoy our
family, friends, and relationships, they can also be a burden when we want to
make a move into a new home or lifestyle.
It seems that more people in their
middle years (if they haven’t already) start to seek out more purpose and/or
find opportunities to give back. A
simpler life, home and finances provide the freedom of time and money to be
more purposeful when you have more time to make the most out of life.
A more physically and financially manageable
place to live is key to achieving that goal of finding more freedom in your
life.
At Jensen communities, we can help with
a Simply Affordable Home in an outstanding neighborhood.
