The American retirement dream for many people involved moving to a beachside location or a mountain retreat for several decades. The current vision of the future is changing. More baby boomers are opting to stay put rather than relocate. The trend has major implications for real estate markets as well as family structures and regional economic systems. The knowledge of Baby Boomers choosing home life over retirement enables families to create better plans while redefining the concept of retirement. Staying home allows people to find comfort and build community relationships as they work toward financial stability.
