    Our plan is to stay in Bama - Tax friendly, cost of living on the lower side, family close -- but, a plan is only as good as...... - never say never, we could end up anywhere... I do agree with others that the risk of unforeseen costs is highly likely - in fact it WILL happen - whether a toilet supply line cracks or AC unit goes out (gets hot in Bama), it has happened to us and will happen again, so that needs to be accounted for. My 3 children are all daughters, so there is that wedding thing yet to come......

    I can tell you what I won't be doing.

    * Getting up before dawn to make the long commute to work and fighting traffic
    * Dealing with personnel issues
    * Writing reports, evaluations, and quarterly contract feedback
    * Not being able to get something completed due to the bureaucracy
    * Attend meetings all day
    * Paying large dry cleaning bills
    * Paying tolls...........

    ...........I think you get the idea.

    Planning on retiring in Feb 2017. Since I have somewhat of an analytic background, I can see myself working part time from home doing spreadsheets for some business that needs that type of support. Other than that, I'm involved in my car club and enjoy working on cars and going to driving events. All this between extensive world travel as time and funds permit.

    As to location, we are currently thinking about the beach areas of Delaware, Virginia Beach or perhaps South Florida . Delaware is very retired friendly so that might be the best choice. However, the kids/grandkids all live in our area and my wife says we are not moving anywhere until further notice.

    That's NEVER a good sign when the wife threatens that. Delaware is a great retirement state and is a destination I'm intrigued with when retirement is upon me.


    Currently I can't retire until 2032, but I'm already scouting retirement locations considering I live in one of the most tax burden states in New Jersey. I told my wife before we were engaged, I'm not living in this tax ####hole of a state when I retire. NJ offers everything I can imagine in excellent schools, great communities, close proximity to NYC, mountains, ocean, great dining and shopping locations, abundance of lakes and reservoirs, etc. Even Montreal is only 5 hours away. Fortunately, they pay employees well in this state with a high locality pay too! State is very generous to their state employees too!

    I think this photo sort of goes along with what Nnut was suggesting "Do anything you want". This guy likes to get dressed up to cook hotdogs. I'm guessing he must be retired.

    All I know is that I don't want any of that mustard that he's sporting.

    That's a bit down the road but at least you're thinking about it.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.

    Definitely going to enjoy vacations with my wife, that's for sure! Invest in a beach home since my mortgage will be paid off by then.

    I was just talking to a co-worker about possibly in the next few years going back to school to get another Bachelor's Degree, but this one in Accounting/Finance. Then from there leading into retirement, use it to either go for a Master's in Investing, or just skip Master's and possibly sell real estate.
