I've heard this from more than one of my friends @WhatInThe Talk about the forgotten ones in America. One gal is 27 dollars over the income maximum to get some help.I've tried but with any assets including a retirement plan, investments no matter how small they really didn't help me. I've been stuck between a dead zone not rich enough not poor enough qualifying for little of anything. It's tough in between destitute or enough money.

You can't find a gal-pal there to hang out with now and then?Ty Rose I live in the Apartment bldg behind the SC
I don't get why you want to move yet again and possibly even move to a place you've never been in a climate that just won't do it for you, especially considering what you went through all that time "between homes." Remember that old saw "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know"? I've been down the pike a time or two and am a good bit older than you are, and my experience has been that you can move but all that does is change the location of your problem(s)...that is, whatever you're wanting to get away from is going to move with you. My un-asked-for advice? Stay put. Four years there and you don't feel at home or comfortable? Maybe the problem isn't with the place itself. Maybe you have to "kiss a lot of frogs" before you find the friend(s) who click.
Re-reading this and it sounds kind of harsh, but it's not meant to be at all. Just some food for thought, okay?
I know exactly how Denise feels. If my huusband didn''t have to be so close to work I'd be moving PDQ...I have such itchy feet, and I love new places..!!!@Denise1952 , there's a gypsy in your soul!
Sometimes I wish I had the nerve to up and go someplace new; you sure do get excitement out of life. ☺
Very true Radish... you know, I kind of know how Denise probably feels. I'd probably move if I weren't married, but you never know. So much of your lifestyle depends on who you are living with (or without) now that I think of it...lol.@Denise1952 , there's a gypsy in your soul!

Hi Liberty, yeah, I be 'round I sure like Linda and thanks so much for introducing me. She's shared a lot about the housing in her areaHope to hear from you Denise...take care now, gal!
I found out about a place that is like our old Grange Halls where we used to go square-dancing and see little stage-plays around Christmas time. They have theme dances with different types of dancing and they have them each week. It had photos and so glad to see most I saw were seniors, or close to anyway.I know exactly how Denise feels.

That would be fab, if you could get it... oooh I'm jumping the gun and getting excited for you before you've even got anything...I found out about a place that is like our old Grange Halls where we used to go square-dancing and see little stage-plays around Christmas time.

I also could be closer to Amtrak, and airports which would really open up some travel options for me
That's true, and it's nice to have some choices while I can still do this@Denise1952 , there's a gypsy in your soul!

I know, it's easy to get excited about the options I'm finding. I watched a Youtube video about travel on Amtrak and I think it would be a blast!That would be fab, if you could get it... oooh I'm jumping the gun and getting excited for you before you've even got anything...
I've ridden it a few times years ago, and best part was really just the scenery. I've driven my whole life, and it's so nice to leave the driving up to someone elseIt's great to live near a railway station..I live within a few minutes drive from one.. and it's so handy to just get on and go where you please without worrying about traffic...
I am glad you were able to move closer to your family. Living in one place for many years, then moving, would be hard I imagine. I've never been there myself. I think you will do fine, once you get to know your fave shopping places, become familiar with your routes etc. and it is nice to meet new people wherever you go. I met a neat lady while waiting in line at the Charter/Spectrum Office. We yacked up a storm! She had beautiful, long, wavy grey hair and of course she thought it looked awful, lol!!If you have many friends in your area moving would be very challenging if it’s too cost prohibitive where you live I can certainly understand relocation we have recently relocated across the country and it’s taking some adjusting I imagine it’s going to take 2 to 3 years to really settle in here Everything here is beautiful but strange to me and I think the older you get the more you appreciate familiar surroundings I have my things around me so that helps and my family is here too but still when I go out and about I’m not yet at home. Hopefully one of these days all of a sudden I’ll feel at home
Unfortunately I’m a bit of an introvert so reaching out to others is a little challenging for me I’ll keep tryingI am glad you were able to move closer to your family.

Me tooI hear you, and it's funny because sometimes I'm real outgoing, and other times don't want to even look up
