A post from Lloyd Alter on mnn.com.

In this article, Lloyd, a Canadian citizen, who has just turned 65, rounds up some of his favorite boomer angsty posts from the last few years.

His posts fall into a number of different categories.

Where will we live?

This is the issue that has obsessed me the most. The vast majority of Americans live in the suburbs and get around by car; they either want to stay in their homes or have no choice because they cannot sell them. Yet the suburbs are not equipped to handle this.

How will we get around?

For the majority of aging boomers, I honestly believe that instead of waiting for someone to take away our car keys, we should be figuring out the alternatives about how to live without a car right now. Just throw away the keys. We will be healthier, wealthier, less stressed and will probably live a few years longer because of it.

What will we do with all our stuff?

 “with today’s disposable culture, it’s cheaper to buy a sofa from IKEA than it is to hire a truck and a mover for grandma’s giant sofa.”

Geezer Bill faced this problem when we moved to our current retirement community. For my take on the subject read Sell, Give, Donate or Dump.

When do you get to say “I’m too old for this’?
