    On the off chance I ever retire I am never going to a retirement community. I will either bother my remaining family with my care or just be found a month later during a wellness checkup, dead on my own kitchen floor after falling.

    I don’t trust these “communities”. I don’t trust any “community” that has a buy in.

      My plan is to go to a South American country where I can get a living visa to live of the pennies I’ll get from my Social Security checks in one of their elderly care facilities.

      Is there a difference between retirement community and retirement home? In Spain residences for older people are very popular and nice. I know people living there and they are very happy, better than they would be at home by their own admission.
