Downsizing Your Home? Stay Away From These 8 Crucial Mistakes

July 10, 2019 · Retirement Life

Not trying out before moving

The prospect of moving to a new place can be exciting and thrilling, but once you move past the exhilaration, you may realize moving there was not really the best decision.

Therefore, to avoid any regretful situations, you can start by exploring the area you’re gonna move to, especially if you’re moving from urban to rural or the other way around. Book a hotel room or Airbnb in your future neighborhood and try out local restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, etc.

So, don’t hesitate to take several days off to scan the area and find out if it’s really what you want.
