Thinking about retiring to Hot Springs Village—but not ready to commit yet?

In this episode of HSV Inside Out, I answer a thoughtful viewer email about doing a micro-retirement (mini-retirement): a short, intentional stay where you live like a local and experience everyday retirement life before making a permanent move.

This is not a vacation. It’s a way to slow down, settle in, and discover whether the pace, lifestyle, and community truly fit you.

In this episode, we cover:

• What a micro-retirement really is (and what it isn’t)

• Why Hot Springs Village is uniquely suited for this kind of test

• How long you should stay to gain real clarity

• What everyday experiences matter most

• The honest questions you should ask yourself along the way

Whether Hot Springs Village is already on your shortlist—or you’re simply exploring what retirement could look like—this episode will help you make a wiser, more confident decision.

Apologies for the low audio volume on me. I didn’t mic myself, and that was a mistake. I’ll do better. -Randy

Ed and Terri Donnelly invited me to prowl their porch. Actually, their friends Tom and Bethany McGregor volunteered them, and they graciously agreed. I even think they had a good time. I know I did.

They jokingly say they bought the ugly house on Lake Balboa and invested in 6-months to give it a new life. And what a life they’ve got (and the house).

We could all plan our retirement more successfully if we just knew how long we’d live. That would eliminate the question, “How much money will I need to retire?” But today, I’d like to discuss something more important than life span…health span. Join me as we stroll the Cedar Creek Trail inside Hot Springs Village.
