    Public Advice for free:

    Make sure ya’ll discuss and agree on what retirement looks like for you well before you get close to retiring.

    Otherwise it will make it much tougher as it gets close:

    Lifestyle, how close to family, what each of you expects out of retirement, etc.?

    Back to subject: Those that have retired away from kids/gkids, how often you get to see them?
    As much as you hoped, less, more?

    Wife has been retired for three years. I retire this summer. In Oct, we moved to be closer to our grown kids and the wife's family. Kids are 25 and 60 minutes away. Wife's family is 45 minutes away. Seemed like a good compromise.

    Near the big river.
    Kids/Grandkids are 10 minutes away. They go to school 500 yards from the house. They do drive byes, stop, raid the fridge, say hi and leave. We love it. They have a key if we aren't here.
    Wife and I have been retired 6 years. Go to 3-4 ball games a week for the grandsons, baseball now, basketball in the fall, track meets in between. Went to golf matches every time the granddaughter played. We go camping with them as well.
    We do get spells where we don't see them for a week or so.
