Considering moving to Nova Scotia. Am I nuts?
I’m 70, single, no kids, living on SS and a federal pension and I’m terrified about the future of the country. I’m not an “old” 70, but I feel like staying here will age me fast. I feel the walls closing in. I’m feeling more and more isolated by the day. I have duel citizenship in Canada, I just need to get the paperwork. I have no savings, just my house that I bought 7 years ago at a really good price (I couldn’t rent here for less than my mortage). IF it’s really worth what online estimates say it is I could make enough of a profit to buy a house in Nova Scotia. I’ve been researching and there are some very affordable houses there. The only things holding me here are habit, money and courage. If I do this I’ll sell everything but my art supplies, clothes and a few sentimental items and start fresh. I’ve always struggled.I think that living in Canada would be so much better for me. I’ve researched some artsy towns that sound amazing, So. I’ve been thinking about this for awhile but I haven idea what Im doing or where to start. I can’t stay here. My mental health is starting to suffer. Can I do this? I’ve always flown by the seat of my pants.
