Explorer Rich asks the group whether or not to plan to age in a place that has stairs.
Some members raise the 'pros':
Exercise may help longevity Stimulates the brain Sense of independence in 'younger' old age can always install a stair lift
Others point out the 'cons':
Disabilities of age prohibit use of stairs Carrying groceries and items on stairs not feasible
Conclusion: Give thought to whether stairs are for you. They become a big issue as you get older.
