This week Bobbi Decker and Buddy Saupe welcome Jerry and Helen Lustig, a couple who came to Bobbi for help when they decided it was time to downsize. Throughout the show Jerry and Helen share several entertaining stories about the multiple times they have downsized, touching on what the toughest parts are as well as what their needs and wants were each time. If fear about the loss of independence is keeping you or a family member on the fence about downsizing there is no need to worry. Downsizing DID NOT make these two shrinking violets; in fact Jerry and Helen now have more time to spend actively engaging themselves within the community.
