Keeping home comfortable is something all people who want to continue living in their homes during their golden years should consider.
Many people want to remain in their homes after they retire rather than move to a senior living facility or community. Unfortunately, most homes aren’t set up to help us age safely and affordably.
If your goal is to “age in place,” some advance preparation could help make that possible or point to better alternatives.
“Somewhere in your 50s, hopefully, you’re starting to think seriously about are you going to be able to stay in the house you’re in? Or are you going to need to make changes?” says DeDe Jones , a certified financial planner in Denver.
