Mind you, Canberra is currently sitting at -5 degrees Celsius. Yep, you heard right. MINUS FIVE DEGREES.

Meantime, Sydney's currently sitting at 10 degrees Celsius. Even so, our gas heater is roaring full blast here.

Sydney.

Right climate, right everything.

ladies!

LADIES!

Please stop your bickering!

I should have said (I apologise) - I was thinking in terms of Aged Pensioners buying and moving in to living in these properties. Some of them look really good.

Sell up your Sydney home - buy one of the better places 'down there' - and be left with a tidy nest-egg to go on annual overseas trips with.

I'm not bickering. I don't think Pansi is either.

And your advice/thought/idea is not well thought out.

The older you get, the more reliant you are on formal and informal support networks....and a decent climate. I've never ever heard an older person say that they love the cold. It's always the opposite. They yearn for warm weather for health reasons. And, as they're on fixed incomes, they're forever watching the cost of utilities etc.

It's impt that such people stay put ie near people, hospitals, community facilities, family, friends etc.

IMO, they should not sell up and move somewhere remote, lonely AND COLDDDDDD.

If they do so, chances are they won't cope for long -----> it's nursing home time.

Melbourne's further down....not far from Antarctica lol.

Sorry, I could never live there.

Also, our family/friends/work are Sydney based .. all except for two 1st cousins who married into Italian families based in Melbourne. They usually do all the flying into/out of Melbourne.

great idea ... you buy where you can afford, not where you can't. If I were retired I'd move there in a heart beat.

Unfortunately Lisa knocked the idea on the head - she made too much good sense when explaining the 'cons'.

Embarrassed

So I'll just stay here in the Concrete Jungle of Sydney where the crematoriums aren't too far away for when I finally kick the bucket ..

Seriously, just stay put.

Sydney's climate is mild compared to these other cheaper areas. Also, you're close to everyone/everything, should anything untoward happen. IMO, you've got it made Herb.
