Anyway, there hasn't (so far) been any threads here geared towards retirement and retirement issues/concerns, so I thought I would start one.

I'm curious to know how folks feel and what your plans are for your later years. How are you planning for your retirement?? Will you sell your home and go into a GLBTQ retirement community?? What if it involved moving from the area where you are now in order to live, specifically, in a community with other older, retired GLBTQ's??

I'll start this thing off with saying that I'd certainly be interested in living in a GLBTQ retirement community. I'd be willing to move (hell, I'd LOVE to move from Vegas!!) to a different area of the country to be with other Queers!! I love the idea of a community of older Queers living together!!

Oh, and I could totally see myself and Tabs living next door to June and Kat or Jack and 'Dusa!!! June has already said that she cooks in large volumes and I am pretty good with a grill.

Move to Portland! Full disclosure: a lot of retirees from here (i.e. snowbirds) go to Arizona for the winter.
