    Hi, I'm Sarah

    I have been retired for 6 years. Does it get boring or depressing. For me, yes it does on occasions. The 2nd six months was the toughest for me. The first 6 months was a breeze because of the newness of it all and the freedom to do anything I wanted. By the second six months I did not have...

    INTRO: Retired at 40, been at it for 6 years

    I hear you. Those are my exact concerns with a partnership as well. If I do pull the trigger on this partnership I am going to take the advice of my accountant and make sure we layout, in writing, what happens if the partnership goes bad. Better to do it while we are on good terms than trying...

    looking for better summers...

    Coach, you are right... half the refugees in Colorado are from Texas. The other half are refugees from California. It is kind of a standing joke out here to ask people you meet "where are you from" because it is rare that you actually find someone that isn't from somewhere else :-)

    Motorcycles' siren song...

    Ninja 250 First attempt at posting a photo on a forum, so hopefully it works... Here is a photo of my son getting used to the Ninja before hitting the road... and getting his necessary photos so he can look cool on myspace :)

    Motorcycles' siren song...

    I took the MSF course with my two oldest kids as a refresher since I hadn't ridden a bike in 30 years. I found it more than worth the 2 day investment. It has made me a safer/better rider. I also discovered that I didn't want a cruiser bike. For me I found I still preferred the more upright...

    Motorcycles' siren song...

    I am a weenie in the motorcycle world but just bought 2 Ninja 250's. Got tired of gas prices and wanted to get back to the fun of riding after a 30 year break. Also, is a great way to see Colorado with my oldest son.

    INTRO: Retired at 40, been at it for 6 years

    WOW... you dug up this thread. I am impressed!! :-) Funny you should bring up this point. As I currently have two business opportunities in front of me now that I am trying to decide between requiring an investment of between $250K - $500K. My process was not quite what you predicted... I...

    looking for better summers...

    I moved to Colorado a year ago and, if you can handle the altitude I would highly recommend it. Summers eventually get hot (but dry) here during the day but it cools down by 30 or more degrees in the evening which makes it incredible. Based on some of your description you may want to consider...

    Looking for places to become a Snowbird

    Ron, I just moved here a year ago and visited the previous year. I moved here based on exactly what you say about the winters... HOWEVER, neither one of the past 2 winters have been anything like that. I pretty much had 8" of snow locked down on my yard from Dec - Mar and we were still getting...

    How Long Have You Been Retired, UnEmployed, Footloose Fancy Free and Not Working

    6 years and 11 months. Everytime I think I want to find a paying job....it interferes with my workout schedule, or nap time, or my kid's games/practices.... and then I get to thinking about the commute and that clinches it!!

    24 and looking ahead

    Impressive early start!! I would have loved to be in your position at 24. ONE COMMENT: you seem concerned that you are not in any tax advantaged savings (401K, Roth IRA, etc.,). I retired at 40 and all the money that I did tie up in a 401K is still sitting there because I can't get it...
