Should I Stay or Move?

There is no right age to move. Some people stay happily in the family home into their nineties; others are relieved to leave the stairs and snow shovelling behind at seventy. The right answer depends on your health, your money, your neighbourhood, and the people around you.

The guides in this section help you think it through before anyone puts up a sign on the lawn.
