Agreed. Do you have any ability to leave/work outside the US, out of curiosity?

Unfortunately the city now prohibits feeding the ducks…[/quote]I really hate that. Couldn’t they install a duck food vending machine like the zoo does? They can make up the cleaning fees. Not able to feed the duck is too kids/family unfriendly for a town like Temecula.

GuestAbout retirement, I have these friends in Vegas. When I bought my condo on the strip, I showed it to them. It was a foreclosure and had been striped bare. They just couldn’t see the potential.
They were like “nah, this is an apartment. We don’t live in apartments. We don’t live in old places, We gonna build (meaning buy new with desired upgrades) our very own rambling house out in the boonies”.
Now, some years later, they’re always coming to use my pool and meet my neighbors. All to themselves, hey’re embracing their house in the boonies that nobody wants to visit. Friends who come into town would rather get a hotel room than visit them. They are the ones driving and regretting.

The trends are definitely people are moving back to the cities, partly because people are delaying family formation and partly because the crime rate has been dropping in the cities…and maybe there are other reasons.
But it is all about costs. Driving is a big cost today…but who knows, maybe self-driving car is just around the corner. I won’t bet on it though.
June 16, 2015 at 1:36 PM #787301ParticipantIt’s not all about costs. It’s about being in a place that’s not devoid of culture and serendipity.

That’s the cost of missing out to me.
June 16, 2015 at 1:49 PM #787303GuestAbout serendipity, my friends like to come and use my pool because they said that the neighbors are nice will talk to them so they can make friends.
Where they live, everybody is holed up in their big suburban houses so they feel bored and lonely.
Retirement, old-age, loneliness, and boredom, don’t mix.

ParticipantMy Mothers been retired for at least 20 odd years and living in a Golf retirement community (real nice course actually).
Anyway she has never played Golf yet and only talks to a few of her neighbors (A lot of other neighbors want to talk to her but she just does not want to be bothered all the time)
Anyway she spends about 90% of her waking hours online, go figure.
I go there sometimes she barely acknowledges that I am there LOL. Face stuck in I-Pad.
She is probably more millennial like than most millennial’s LOL.

Family is more than just spouse and kids.
DNA wise siblings are closer than kids.I like my relatives. I don’t miss opportunities to keep in touch. Even parents’ cousins and their kids.

I’d say you are lucky and wise.
I feel the say but I am not lucky enough to have any of my relatives close by. they are all thousands of miles awayJune 17, 2015 at 2:12 PM #787320Anonymous
GuestFamily has nothing to do with DNA.

True… if you say that they are family, then they are.
I’m sure that I have relatives who are not DNA related, not only because of adoption, but also because of sex outside of wedlock.

The DNA thing is wrong, if you mean it literally. You share 50% of your DNA with each of your parents, each of your children and each of your full siblings.
