You make it sound so easy:) My friend and his partner (let's call them Luis and Lynn) are in their sixties. They both have large houses and lots of stuff. They live about 40 minutes away from each other, and both like where they live. Luis loves his house, and prizes the peace and order of living alone with his dog. Lynn lives a block away from family. She is caring for her elderly sister at home, so her schedule largely revolves around that, and her house is a hub of family activity. Money is not a concern for either. Every day, they meet for lunch at their favorite restaurant, where they sit at the bar with other regulars. It's like Cheers. Friday is date night, when they go out to dinner, watch a movie, whatever. Once a month or so they go on a little vacation, usually a road trip to the mountains, usually only for a day, but sometimes overnight if Lynn can arrange care for her sister. Once a year they try to do a longer vacation. They've done this exact routine for nearly a decade, and they've been together for over thirty years. Pretty sure they've got this figured out.
