Reality-Check
Before You Retire to Your Dream Home
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

You live in Florida and you want four seasons so you move to Durham, North Carolina, which has spectacular seasons, it is true, along with a major mold problem, and you're allergic to molds.

You live in Malibu and you long to return to your roots where you can own some land and hunt and fish, but after one year the goats on your ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas are no longer holding your interest.

You long to live on the beach, and after 3 months you find you cannot tolerate sand in the butter, sand in your underwear, sand in your grandchild's diaper, sand in the shower, sand on the floor, and sand in your teeth.

You move from Chicago to Dallas, and ask about the radon in the house but not about the foundation. (No basements in Texas, but, yes, foundations that crack.)

It was the ground cover in that place on Hilton Head Island that made you fall in love with the place. What's it called? Oh, yes, kudzu.

You bought that quiet, secluded place on Ono Island in August, and what a surprise when the tourists arrived in January.

What To Do?

Spend some time investigating if you can (and have a choice), and get the blindfolders off, the "tourist mentality." New places, especially when they're new, and you've fantasized about them can be mesmerizing. Force yourself -- use your emotional intelligence -- to go through the motions of a real day there. It is different to visit somewhere than to live somewhere.

Oops, do you want to have to drive 30 minutes for a can of coffee?. Uh oh, it isn't just your neighbor with that annoying adenoidal drawl, it's all the women there. You mean the nearest hospital (masseuse, airport, 5-star restaurant) is an hour away?. What do mean there's no restaurant in this town that serves beef barbecue (lox and cream cheese, creme francais, fried gizzards, vegemite).

In All Conditions

If you visit San Antonio in November, go back in August. If you visit St. Paul in July, go back in February.

The meta-theory here is to use your emotional intelligence to make a good decision.

• Avoid impulsive buying.
• Do your homework, using reason and logic.
• Test out how you FEEL there.
• Anticipate consequences.
• Remain flexible and open-minded.

It's especially keen to develop your intuition, because these are questions you can't ask other people about. "It's a great place to live," means something entirely different to each person who says it.

Remember there are things that are different that are nice (no snow to shovel) and there are things that are different that aren't nice (there are bees in my what?).

Be especially careful if you're planning to "go back to your roots," or "retire to paradise." It is quite probable neither goal is achievable.

Here's a great website for checking important things out: http://houseandhome.msn.com/pickaplace/nf_Overview.aspx

Good luck!
