Downsizing unlocked their retirement
Earle and Rosemary's move that changed everything
This is part of a series of sponsored stories by ZB’s Kerre Woodham, exploring life in Metlifecare villages through the eyes of residents – how they came to be there, what shaped their choice of village, and how they’re enjoying life now. Today: Kerre meets Earle and Rosemary, who discovered that downsizing to village living can free up more than time – it can unlock the financial freedom to enjoy retirement.
