dex; I sent you a pm, but dont know if it went threw. Anyhow I try to summarize. I am not to familiar with Casita Brand Trailers,although from what I read they seem to be well made, and should hold up well at resell time. I spent some time in a 16' AirStream, and they seem to have many...

My 1st car was also a 1976 Chev. Vega. LIME GREEN. I bought it used in 1977, as it was 6mo. old and had 5900mi on it. I paid $2100 for it and drove it for 5yrs, then sold it to my brother. I only sold it because of the rust factor(of which they were known). It was only one of two cars that...

EarlyBird; Living paycheck to paycheck is no fun. 1) Cut back on expenses...establish emg/rainy day fund, in MM funds or Cds(laddering them..6mo.1yr..2yr) 2) How old are the kids?, and are you funding their college ed.(529 plan,etc) 3) I would choose a much more diversified 401 plan, no...

Where to Retire magazine is available at most larger book stores, or WheretoRetire.com where you can order a free sample copy. I read the current copy at my Library, which has a large selection of magazines.The article on Panama is long and detailed.
