After my boomer husband retired, we moved to a bigger house. We now have space for our hobbies and grandchildren to visit.

• After my husband retired we decided to move to a bigger house to be more comfortable. 
• We didn't tell anyone we were looking for a bigger house. 
• We now have the space we need to fulfill our hobbies and passions. 

My husband retired last year, and recently, we upsized our home. For us, it was a move to what I call "rightsizing."

We lived in a large house built in 1870 in the center of town.
