We bought our retirement dream home when DH was transferred by megacorp to what would be his last "assignment". Two years after he retired we decided to leave CA and relocate to NV. I can't believe how big a difference the move has made in our life - not just for the cost savings (our property...

Would you delay ER on a rumor that a golden handshake was going to be offered even if you didn't know exactly what the package would be or when it would be offered? The rumors where DH works have been rampant for about a month. DH has worked for this same aerospace company his entire career...
