不少老中还会考虑以后到子女的居住地附近退休。我可能也会考虑但是必须满足我上面提到的基本条件。
大家有没有跟我一样的考量?
附近有比较大的华人或亚洲超市;
物价(包括房价)不能太高。】

It doesn't make sense if the house is paid off and consumer prices are low,
like in North Carolina where I live. I don't care if there's Chinese grocery,
we have online stores now. I don't like big cities, bad traffic and all that

I love our Jewish community. They welcomed me unconditionally. And I converted.
Moving to anywhere else would be a lose to me.
