Downsizing is the euphemism we use for all those discussions about cramming a 3,600 sq ft lifestyle into a neat little 1,800 sq ft package of happiness and organizational bliss. Downsizing is also the blanket term we use for all those discussions about capital gains, property tax transfers, trust/legacy issues and strategies that can help stretch our nest eggs. Downsizing also references all those lesstangible conversations people are having about walkability, living closer to family, maintaining access to adequate medical care and doing less driving.
