7 fabulous gay retirement living arrangements – step 4
On this Queer Money®, we’re sharing 7 fabulous gay retirement living arrangements. What will your living arrangement look like in retirement? What are the options? From retiring in a place to communal living to LGBTQ+ focused retirement communities, we share common ways of finding your special place to call home while in retirement.
We explore various retirement living options and considerations for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. Whether you’re looking to retire in place, become a snowbird, move to a dream destination, or explore co-housing and home sharing, we’ve got you covered. 1. Retire in place – Considerations for living where you currently are – Understanding housing expenses 2. Retire in place + snowbird (renter or owner) – Balancing living at home and escaping seasonally – Predictable housing expenses when renting or owning a second home 3. Move to retirement destination of choice – Exploring dream retirement destinations – International options such as Portugal, Spain, and Uruguay 4. Co-housing – Embracing smaller communities and mutual support – Highlighting LGBTQ+ focused communities like Village Hearth in Durham, North Carolina 5. Home sharing – Creating shared living arrangements, potentially intergenerational – Platforms like Silver Nest facilitating these arrangements 6. Life plan communities – Evolving retirement communities offering meaningful activities and social engagement – Examples include Wilton Manors and The Villages 7. Continuous care retirement communities (CCRC) – Providing independent living, assisted living, and nursing care in one location – LGBTQ+-focused communities and niche housing arrangements.
This episode also includes valuable resources for further research and planning, including recommendations for LGBTQ+ retirement communities and essential reading on retirement planning. As you consider your retirement living situation, start researching potential locations, estimating costs, and sharing your questions, thoughts, and findings with us.
