When families call me about downsizing in Solano County, the first practical step they often take is renting a storage unit. It feels like relief. But a storage unit before downsizing has a way of turning from a helpful pause into a monthly bill that quietly delays the move it was supposed to make easier.

When Solano County families call me about downsizing after 70, they almost always use the word downsizing — and it usually isn't quite right. Downsizing sounds like loss. Right-sizing asks a different question. And I've sat with enough families at their kitchen tables in Benicia and Vallejo to know the difference matters more than the label.
