Ep 181: Should You Relocate In Retirement?

Phil’s Tax Hacks · May 4, 2023

Today’s Hack

Today, we’ll be discussing some challenges of moving amidst the current climate, particularly for pre-retirees and retirees. We recently came across a Vanguard article that proposes a way to potentially add $100,000 to one’s retirement savings by selling and relocating to a different state. Is this a feasible strategy? We’ll answer that question and more about relocating in this episode.

Join us as we explore the crucial factors to contemplate before deciding to relocate, such as evaluating the real estate market in different states, understanding taxes and fees, and facing the difficulties and costs of moving. Ultimately, we will discuss why you should be cautious of sensational headlines and instead seek the guidance of an advisor who can help determine the most suitable choices for your financial future.

Here are some of the things we’ll address in this episode:

  • Some things to think about if you’re considering moving in the current economy. [1:06]
  • Understanding the pros and cons of the real estate market you’re in right now compared to where you are moving. [4:31]
  • The importance of looking at the bigger picture when making the decision to move. [8:48]
  • The challenges of moving right now. [12:01]
