The secret is in playing an active role in the planning \u2013 recognising this chapter of life as a reality, viewing it positively, and celebrating the opportunities it presents. It goes without saying that financial planning is the most important factor and talking to your financial planner is a crucial step when looking into the future. It\u2019s not only about the rental or purchase of a retirement unit or home, living expenses, covering of levies, rates and utilities, but also factoring in the unknown \u2013 any potential health or care expenses. Once you have a clear picture of your financial situation, you\u2019ll want to compile a personal checklist of non-negotiable and \u2018nice-to-have\u2019 elements. You might want to choose a retirement village close to where you live now \u2013 near friends and familiar places \u2013 you\u2019ll certainly want to be near family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3xEW9g2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14479\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1356\" height=\"709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle.jpg 1356w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-400x209.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-696x364.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-1068x558.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/HotProperty_InArticle-803x420.jpg 803w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1356px) 100vw, 1356px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Geoff Perkins of Collins Residential, the developers of Mount Edgecombe Retirement Village, shares a quick checklist to assist with getting the planning process started:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Consider your family:<\/strong> being near them or at least near to an airport is important to consider.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Hobbies and like-minded communities:<\/strong> being surrounded by a community who share common interests and values greatly enhances quality of life. If the idea of neighbourly activities and events such as gardening, walking or group exercise has appeal, then planning to settle in a community-orientated estate should be factored in.<br \/>\n\u2022 If wanderlust is important: a secure, lock-up-and-go is the ideal solution.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Pets:<\/strong> For many, finding a pet-friendly retirement solution is at the top of the list.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Do you enjoy socialising?<\/strong> A retirement community can offer wonderful socialising opportunities, companionship and ways to meet new people.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 For the active:<\/strong> golf, tennis, a gym. For many, staying fit and active is non-negotiable, so ensure your estate shortlist gives you access to these facilities.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Do you bird watch, hike or walk?<\/strong> Similarly, you\u2019d want to live on an eco-estate or near safe \u2018wild\u2019 areas with trails or boardwalks. The North Coast offers a range of estates that are based on this principle.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Health matters:<\/strong> whether or not you have existing health care concerns, the option of having access to a full-service health care facility should be a careful consideration.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Security is a reality:<\/strong> most villages and estates have good security, but think about your latter years &#8211; panic buttons and response services should be jotted down.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Facilities:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t drive or have a car, plan to retire in an estate where regular trips to local shopping centres and outings could be important to you. Similarly, a clubhouse, hairdresser or a coffee shop on site could be beneficial.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Family fundamentals:<\/strong> visitor\u2019s parking, whether you can comfortably entertain and even planning to ensure your grandchildren\/ friends are able to stay overnight is often overlooked, so be sure to add this important item to the list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14391 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792-394x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"394\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792-394x400.jpg 394w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792-768x779.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792-696x706.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792-414x420.jpg 414w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/5891Chris-Allan-Photography--e1624284519792.jpg 957w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/>You will definitely have a host of questions and considerations that pertain specifically to your particular lifestyle, Geoff says. \u201cJot them down.
