Hello all

[Unoriginalusername]

I retired 5 years ago at age 58. My wife and I are now embarking on our next great adventure. We are moving to be closer to to the grandchildren. For those who have gone before me any advice or shared tips would be appreciated.
Looking forward to enjoying the group.

Hi,
It's nice you were able to retire at an early age and can spend more time with your grandchildren. I have no grandchildren of my own (wish I did) but many members here do. In the meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the forum.

Welcome to the forum. I also don’t have grandchildren. My husband and I opted for dogs.

Welcome to the forum. It's nice that you were able to retire at a relatively young age. Will you be moving far, to be nearer to your grandchildren?

Welcome to the forum, @Unoriginalusername ! The folks in this group are a great bunch of people!
Although I don't have grandchildren yet, there are a few things to consider when moving closer
to family. One of them is to enjoy the time together, but also have your independence, too. Join a senior
center, and if you have hobbies, continue doing them. One of the things I had read once was not to
be too much involved in their lives, but to give them space, too. These are just ideas.
