So you think you can not afford to retire?

Living in Alberta rural communities offers many financial advantages as well as a more laid-back lifestyle. Depending on how far away you want to be from bigger cities you will find home prices can be almost half of what you are paying in the big city. Why not sell your home and pay off the mortgage then move into small town Alberta and have money in the bank. The town of Smoky Lake might be one to consider. With almost all of the services available in the big city including a 15 bed hospital a large GM car dealership, Alberta registries, restaurants, curling club, ice arena, and even a 9 hole golf corse. All of this and you are a 15 minute drive to some of the best boreal forest camping and recreational activities in Alberta.
