What Is Downsizing For Retirement?

What Is Downsizing For Retirement

In retirement terms, downsizing is the act of moving out of your current, larger home into something smaller and easier to manage, whether it's an apartment, retirement home, or simply a smaller house. As one gets older, mobility becomes more difficult, and large homes can become a burden. Additionally, as children grow up and move out, you're left with unused rooms and all of that extra space is unnecessary.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE UNWANTED HOUSEHOLD CONTENTS?

In addition to selling your home, you'll be selling plenty of your possessions, too. When you're moving into a smaller space, you're not going to have enough room for everything that you currently own, namely a lot of household contents. Before you begin this lengthy process, you need to take stock of everything that you own and decide what you're taking with you, what you will give to family, friends and what to sell.

This would be a great time to take stock of all your personal assets, everyday household items, valuable and items you have been collecting over the years.

Doing an inventory list of all your personal assets and keeping it in a safe place such as a bank deposit box comes in very handy if you have to make a claim against the insurance if any of the item(s) are broken, lost or stolen.  Another benefit of having an inventory of your possessions, especially for jewelry, art, coins or collectibles is that you can easily state on the list who you would like to inherit specific items to. This can eliminate any confusion for estate executors and make their job much easier when they are settling an estate.
