I've downsized my life because I just don't feel the need to have a huge amount of material possessions for which I must be responsible. The less I have, the better I feel and my priorities have their proper place. I've greatly reduced stress in my life and feel wonderful about that!

When I was 51, I downsized my whole life!...First, I retired from a high stress corporate accounting job...Eighteen months later I moved from Columbus, Ohio, population 810,000 to Crossville, Tennessee, population 11,000...Both decisions enhanced my quality of life tenfold...I love the simplicity of small town living...

I got out of the rat race and moved to a small town in South Carolina. Now I live in the quiet country and the beach is about 45 minutes away so I get the best of both worlds.I also notice and enjoy the small things in life.

"Major Life Changes" after 50?
Mourned the death of my husband and all the plans we had for these golden years, having someone to share the moment. I have always loved country life so I haven't made any changes in where I reside. The biggest change is living alone, not having children or grandchildren in and out of the house. Now I go to visit them in their homes. I'm okay with that. Retirement and not having to race the clock. I love it! |

Well for me I think I am having a holiday most times and that makes me feel really as young as 30. There's this feeling of strength when you get to see new places and cultures and climate, the feeling you should even live longer. Try that.

I also mourned the death of my husband and my mom (within 6 months of each other) in 2007. I then decided that I would keep as much negativity out of my life as possible (it's worked wonders) and I downsized from a 3 bedroom house to an apartment. I love it! Now I spend a lot of time with family and friends and travel as much as my money allows. Getting my first great grandchild (girl)for Christmas..life is good!
I recently spent 2 weeks in Colorado, 6 days with friends, 8 days on the road by myself putting 1460 miles on my rental car in 5 days..saw a lot, did a lot, had a great time! |

For 25 years I tried very hard to make my wife happy, at great physical and financial cost to me. At age 50, after all those years of trying, I finally decided that it wasn't possible. I decided that I'd tried my best and it was now time for me to be happy, so I divorced her. I never realized how wonderful life could be. Hopefully some day I'll find the right woman to share this wonderful life with.

for me it was realizing that my sons were old enough to make their own decisions and I had to change the way I spoke and treated them. I had to change from "Dad the director" to Dad the friend and mentor. It was hard for me to do, to realize that I was not needed in that way anymore. But our relationships are stronger now then they could ever possibly be, because now I give my opinion.. when it is asked for ( and it is many times, sometimes they take the advise, sometimes they don't.). And I suggest as opposed to ordering or I list possible ramifications to things and then let them make their own decisions.
I guess it was just a hard pill to swallow at the time Devildog |

"Life is a construction zone and is constantly changing daily"
I recently retired at 62 settled in a country side wooded setting, built a large greenhouse for fun. Now looking for a traveling partner to expand what life has to offer in visiting other places, sharing life with. Finally the freedom of movement too go and stay for as long there is an interest and enjoying life. I see my world from a view point that "change" can be the sky is the limit. |
