A lot of downsizing plans start in the wrong place: with the home someone pictures, instead of the life they are trying to build. In this episode, Evelyn breaks down the gap between what people say they want in their next home and what they actually need to feel settled there, using real condo and bungalow examples, the emotional side of leaving a long time home, and the money questions that get missed until it is too late to change course.
Most people downsize by wish list. This episode is about closing the gap between what you think you want and what you need, before you start touring listings.
If you are starting to wonder whether your current home still fits your life, the free Downsizing Guide above walks through the questions worth asking before you start looking at listings. You do not need to have it all figured out first. You just need a place to start.
