Frequently Overlooked Retirement Consideration
Where we live doesn't just mean our home. I like to use the word 'place' to describe a variety of elements including one's home and local community, along with less obvious factors like opportunities for social connection, connection to purpose, and factors related to physical wellbeing.

Where we live matters when it comes to how well we live and how long we will live.
My upcoming book, Right Place, Right Time: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Home for the Second Half of Life (pre-order here), is about the many small and big decisions that individuals and families must consider when they are deciding where to live for their 'golden' years.
These are not simple decisions and getting it right requires knowing what factors matter most for you and how to prioritize those things based on your unique needs and wants. There isn't a one size fits all solution.
The right place enhances the most significant dimensions of life: your mental and physical health, your ability to connect with others, and your ability to live a meaningful and fulfilled life. Likewise, the 'wrong' place can prohibit you from attaining balance in those areas.
This quiz (click here) was designed to ascertain what your goals are and what type of place would be right for you (whether to stay where you are, or whether you should consider a move) and to give you a top-level view of some of the most important things to think about regarding where you live now, or, if you're considering a move, what you should be thinking about as you decide where to go and what type of community you're looking for.
