"Deciding where to live when fledglings leave the nest can both energize and perplex newly free couples. Unlike earlier generations who launched their last child and simply converted a bedroom into a sewing room, today's parents are thinking expansively--and sometimes expensively. This is their time and their space, they say--a stage of life that signals independence and adventure." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article discusses how couples whose children are all grown have "to ask themselves what they want in life, and how much space they need" when making housing decisions.
