“I would love to move into a retirement community, but I can’t afford it right now.”

Abstract

Financing your ideal retirement — sooner than later: Today’s challenging economy presents many opportunities, making retirement communities an even better investment for you and your money.

With the sudden economic downturn, those approaching retirement and those already retired are reevaluating their financial portfolios. With falling stock prices, leaner retirement accounts, and reduced home values, the dream of moving out of the family home into an active adult retirement community might seem dimmer now.
