Why I'd Rather Rent Than Own A Condo In Retirement

Design the Retirement You Actually Want: https://stan.store/Michelle50/p/design-the-retirement-you-actually-want When I made my video about renting in retirement, so many of you said the same thing: "Michelle, just buy a condo — best of both worlds." I understand why it sounds that way. But after watching several friends live it, I'd still rather rent. In this video I break down why a condo can hand you the responsibilities of owning while a board of strangers controls your costs — the rising HOA fees, the special assessments you can't say no to, and the resale trap almost no one sees coming. This isn't about renting winning or owning losing. It's about knowing which risks you'd actually rather live with, especially when you're living solo on a fixed income. Have you lived in a condo in retirement? Tell me how the fees and assessments really turned out — the good stories and the hard ones. We all get smarter from them.
