There has been a souring of the dream of starting a new life in retirement/semiretirement through relocation. Historically, that had been the accepted way of having a lower cost of living, better weather and adventure.
But inflation has reared its head. Those top spots like Arizona have gotten more expensive. The influx of the budget-challenged from California who can no longer afford that state have migrated to AZ, driving up the cost of living. Climate change has brought troublesome weather to paradises like southern Alabama. And, it's well documented how difficult it is to make new friends when over-40.
What is gaining attention is aging-in-place. You bet, stay in your house or downsize from that house to a one-bedroom apartment or efficiency. There are also more government subsidized senior residential complexes with steep discounts on rent. Forget uprooting your whole life.
Aging-in-place has become more financially affordable with robots as standard in personal care. A human home health aide can run about $20.50 an hour.
An option is to buy or lease a robot. That Artificial Intelligence helper can assist with everything from helping you out of bed and making your breakfast to supervising your workout and delivering a pep talk on what life has to offer. MarketWatch anticipates this DIY approach to aging-in-place will take off.
Likely your robot will be configured to look very humanoid.
