DOWNSIZING IN AUSTRALIA
• Sorting out your legal documentation and personal
situation, including considering any tax implications
• Looking at your downsizing options and choosing what
suits you.
Discussion
The first step to downsizing is to discuss your feelings with your
spouse or partner. (If you are single, then family and friends are
a good start.) Agreeing to decide to downsize could be the most
important step in the whole process.
This sounds like very simple advice, but, in reality, some couples
are not good at letting their feelings be known even to each
other.
