RELOCATION / RETIREMENT PLANNING

Choosing the wrong location is a mistake you cannot afford to make. Let us help you.

If you find yourself wondering whether to sell your home and where to move, you are not alone. Most of us are living in our bank. Through selling, we hope to gain the freedom to live the life we love. But our dreams remain fantasies if we have no critical path to transforming our present situation into great possibilities for our future.

Our Critical Path Lifestyle Consultations will bring you forward. We discuss the visions for your future that you have harbored and perhaps abandoned as unattainable. Together we search within you to discover where you will live after you sell, and the world is your oyster. We guide you to places that are more affordable, or more conducive to the life you choose. We bring your spouse or significant other on this journey, so every one is on board with the results.

And we get results.

We coach you in this central area of your life-where you will live and what contribution you will make to your family, community and yourself in the years to come.

Here are just two very exciting examples.

Adriane has assisted a couple in taking an early retirement, through the sale of one of their three homes. They had built a primary residence, bought a second home, and inherited a third from the wife's mother. With the last child to graduate in a year, they wanted to travel the world and eventually teach scuba to handicapped children. Adriane guided them in choosing which homes to sell and which to rent, where to buy a second home in a unique scuba island, and how to budget their travel for the next two years.

Adriane is presently consulting with a client that is selling her town home in New York City so that she can reforest land in Panama and build a wellness retreat. First, Adriane helped her define her goals, now Adriane is helping the client forge a liaison with the appropriate Panamanian ministries, choose the land, and institute micro loan program for teaching crafts to local women.

But your situation may involve:

• Selling one home and buying two, in different parts of the world
• Accommodating the needs of aging parents if you move.
• Selecting the right retirement community
• Moving to an area where you can enjoy the experience of lifelong learning
• Upsizing your home for greater wellness and convenience in a less expensive or lower tax base area
• Downsizing your home and using proceeds for a debt free life
• Creating rental income from the proceeds of your home for a life time of cash flow
• Discovering unsung retirement or lifestyle areas and becoming instantly familiar with them before the crowds catch on

We need to hear from you and know your situation before we can cost effectively and conveniently help you. Please answer and the following questions in narrative form or tell us your situation covering the points in the questionnaire. We will review it free of charge and determine how we can help you. We will send you our company material. If YOU DECIDE TO WORK WITH US YOU WILL KNOW ALL COSTS IN ADVANCE, AND ALL THAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO GAIN FOR YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FUTURE.

Questions to open the possibilities of your long future

Successful businesses get that way by establishing a "critical path", setting a goal, and developing precise steps to reach that goal. People who are successes in their personal life do the same. It may come with difficulty for some, more naturally for others, but either way, life's winners have created a critical path to leading the life they love.

You, too, will create your critical path. This advisory sheet is the first, and most important step. It has two functions, it establishes where you are and starts the thinking program as to where you would like to be, in certain aspects of your life that directly impact on home ownership, relocation and retirement planning.

As the Chinese proverb goes, a journey of a million miles starts with the first step. Often that first step is nothing more than a notion, an idea, and a wish, a dream a concept---what ever it seems to you. The questionnaire is that first step, designed to present facts and stimulate your thinking.

Ironically, when the goal or destination we seek is living the handcrafted life, part of the goal must be flexibility. The destinations of our lives are moving targets. If we are not willing to make transformations and then more transformations, we will not have the ultimate satisfaction we seek.

Why not?

Because the goal of great living is to create a great journey, and a journey without stagnations, a critical path with no dead-ends.

Retirement, for example, can become stagnant and dead ended. To the present generations, the original concept of retirement is a monumental failure. People die of retirement, they tire of retirement. Retirement in the old fashioned, "put me out to pasture" sense, is not sustainable for a generation with our stunning life expectancy. At the turn of the century life expectancy was 47, in the 1940's when Social Security was developed is was 68. Today, the fastest growing segment of our population are those over age 85, and the next fastest those over 100.

Today's generations are pioneers in the field of aging and in living the handcrafted life though all the years to come. We now have opportunity beyond past belief for making the second half of life ""for which the first was made*" more vital, more rich and more relevant than our past.

But, it has been our experience that as you think and dream about your future, you will be abruptly confronted with practical questions about the value of your home, your cash flow, your debts, your work, your family and the best location in which to live the handcrafted life.

Issues of: "Where Shall I live if I sell the house?" "Can I afford to live the life I love?" "How can I meet I obligations to children and aging parents?" And ultimately, "What do I really want? What is the handcrafted life for me."

Be content.

By answering the questions you find below, you are on your way toward setting these issues aside permanently. You will break out of your circular path and start on the critical path to get where you are going.

In answering the questions "guestamates" are just fine. With regard to the financial information, we of course keep it confidential. However you may skip the questions if you feel more comfortable doing so. But be sure to answer those regarding the value of your residence and second home if any.

We read each and every submission without charge to you. If we believe that we can truly help you in creating your path or facilitate any of the segments of your journey, we contact you with our ideas.

Enjoy!
