Quiz - Are you in a Downsizing Dilemma?

Take the quiz to see if you are in a dilemma about your downsize.

If you answered yes to the previous questions, then you have chosen the right course. If you answered no to any of the questions, then the information you will learn may help you down the track and encourage you to think about your next move.

Simply by choosing to do this course, you have already made the first-step and this is often the hardest decision to make, so well done!

This course has been designed to help shift your mindset and set you on the right path to a Rightsized life.

The truth is, it is different for everyone.

From my experience of working with hundreds of downsizers, and managing their next moves, I can assure you that all of my clients can identify with most of the following:

1. The house feels too big.
2. The ongoing maintenance worries them.
3. They wish they were closer to their family and / or friends.
4. They have begun to feel disconnected.
5. They struggle to keep up with maintaining their home.
6. The pool is a money pit and an energy drain.
7. The garden used to be enjoyed, however it has become cumbersome.
8. The bins are too heavy to take out.
9. People generally don't come and stay over so the rooms are not needed (or people stay too long as you have too many rooms!)
10. They wish they didn't have to jump in the car to go everywhere.
11. They would really like to move but there is always too much to do, so it's easier to do nothing!

In fact, the most common thing I hear my clients say once they have downsized is, "I wish I had done it sooner"

So, If any of these answers resonate with you, then YES, now is the right time for a downsize. I urge you to do it sooner rather than later, while you are healthy and can make your own decisions.
