For most people, retirement is a time of freedom. Once you retire, you no longer need to go to work every day and can use your time as you wish. In some cases, when people leave the workforce, they make the decision to relocate. About 1 million people move every year following their retirement. Some people move to be closer to or farther away from family while others take this step for health or financial reasons. When it comes to relocating following retirement, there are a number of benefits. These range from the excitement of living in a different city to saving money by renting a smaller place. If you’re considering relocating after retirement, a few recommendations and steps can help make the transition easier. 

Choosing a New City
Once you’ve made the decision to relocate, you’ll need to choose your location. If you’re moving to be closer to your family, then you already know where you’re going, but if you’re changing hometowns to explore a new place or for financial or health purposes, research several locations before making your selection. Check into a city’s cost of living, ease of transportation and access to medical care.

Moving for a Warmer Climate
When people retire, many of them move to warmer locales because the higher temperatures are easier on their bodies. In addition, once you reach your golden years, you may be ready to live in a city where you can avoid shoveling snow or budgeting for high heating bills.
