When Should I Downsize?
Anytime! Downsizing is not just for those nearing or in 'retirement' age.
There are multiple reasons for downsizing, from empty nesters, loneliness, divorce, loss of a loved one, financial, or a craving for a better life balance. Minimalist living has proven to have many health benefits and is a good option at any age! Imagine a less stressful life, doing more of what you love.
You can downsize at any point, but it's worth giving some thought and research into where you want to live, what kind of property you would be happy in, and whether you would like to move closer to family and friends. When going through this thought process, consider how much you own, how much you will need to declutter and dispose of to fit into a smaller place.

Both moving house and downsizing can be very stressful for many of us. Whether you were planning on the change, or had it thrust upon you, we can become very accustomed to the home we are in, but there are so many advantages and opportunities for making the change. From financial, saving money on bills, freeing up capital (equity), to exploring new areas and, not forgetting, freeing up time with a more manageable sized home and the fun of new decor. All can be very exciting!
Decluttering can also be very stressful. Check back in with us to read our next article on the health and stress of moving. Whether you planned this move or had it thrust at you, parting with many items collected over the years, can be very emotional.
