I'm 61 with 16 grandkids. Instead of downsizing, we bought a bigger vacation home to finally make family trips work.

Instead of downsizing, I moved into a bigger home at 74. My grandkids love the extra space, and family visits are finally fun.

We traded our condo in a walkable city for a big house in the suburbs after we retired. It's been great for us and our grandkids.
