Downsizing in retirement seems like a no-brainer, but itโ€™s not that simple. In this episode, Phil tests some of the most common beliefs about downsizing and whether they really hold up. Is moving to a smaller home always cheaper? Does it automatically lower your taxes? Will it actually simplify your life, or just trade one set of challenges for another?

Hereโ€™s some of what we discuss in this episode:

๐Ÿ  Downsizing isnโ€™t always cheaper than staying put

๐Ÿ’ฐ Property taxes can jump when you reset your tax base

๐Ÿ“‰ Transaction costs (commissions, moving, new furniture) cut into equity

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง Family dynamics and emotional ties play a big role

๐Ÿงญ Lead with lifestyle goals, not just financial ones
