The professor's suggestion that retirees sell their houses and go to the countryside for retirement has sparked widespread discussion. In my opinion, this advice may be a good option for some retirees.
First of all, with the development of urbanization, the cost of living in cities is getting higher and higher, and retirees have relatively limited incomes, which makes it difficult to afford the high housing prices and high cost of living in cities. In contrast, the cost of living in the countryside is lower, and housing prices are relatively low, making it more suitable for retirees.
Secondly, the countryside has a beautiful environment and fresh air, which has great health benefits. Retirees can enjoy a more comfortable living environment in the countryside, and at the same time, they can also do some light farm work, exercise and increase fun.
However, there are also some problems with selling a house to retire in the countryside. First of all, the medical conditions in the countryside are relatively poor, which is not convenient for some retirees who need regular medical treatment. Secondly, the infrastructure in the countryside is relatively imperfect, and there may be some inconveniences in shopping, travel, etc. In addition, some retirees may be accustomed to the city lifestyle and have difficulty adjusting to life in the countryside.
Therefore, for the suggestion of selling a house to go to the countryside for retirement, retirees need to comprehensively consider their actual situation and needs. If the retiree has enough savings and pensions and prefers the living environment in the countryside, then this advice may be a good choice. If retirees live on pensions or are more dependent on an urban lifestyle, they need to think carefully before making a decision.
