I guess I was addressing the "living in poverty" part of the parent comment and the suggestion to downsize in your follow-up. I thought you meant to downsize to get some money to pay the bills. But it seems like you're saying to downsize to get a house which is easier to maintain?

¿Por qué no los dos?

Can't manage a large property... sell large property, acquire money... purchase suitable sized property and use balance of cash for a motorbike, or a jet ski, or just keeping up with the rising cost of living.

Why go broke (both financially and physically) in a large house as an old person?
