The Truth About Downsizing in Retirement

Scott Osborn

Downsizing in retirement often sounds like an easy decision, but it’s rarely that simple. In this episode, Scott breaks down some of the most common downsizing myths - like whether a smaller home really lowers monthly expenses - and explains why the numbers don’t always add up.

Tune in for practical insights to help you weigh whether moving to a smaller home is truly the right choice for you. 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🏡 Downsizing doesn't always lower costs

💰 Using home equity for debt or savings isn’t always the best move

🛠️ Simple home modifications can prepare you for long-term care needs

🏖️ Know your retirement goals before making big decisions

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family dynamics should play a role in your decision
