    Vacation home/cabin use?

    We have lake property in my family that is no longer used. It's about an hour from my house. I would love to take over ownership and keep it in the family. From my experience lately though, it seems like every time I'm able to make it there I'm doing nothing but working all weekend. Always...

    The first million takes the longest to achieve

    Great thread. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it! For myself, the first $100,000 was the hardest and most challenging. Somewhere on this site there's a thread where my aggravation can be read, lol. I finally hit that mark in February 2013. Thought I had cleared that hurdle and was hot stuff...

    Work for toys/travel

    You won the game, time to enjoy the life. These are the best, healthiest years remaining go get after it. Your comment says it: "I'm retiring with enough pension, future Social Security, and 401k to permanently increase our spending by 20% so we don't need the extra money."

    Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. We're right at $1m with investments and cash ($250k home not included). Like was stated, we have to live somewhere, and the only reason we have been able to save this much was due to staying in our first home and not upgrading. Wife and I both come...

    What got you excited about retirement saving?

    Grew up poor, but am a natural saver. Fast forward to my "first" career job. Got a little cushy with the illusion that I was there for life and had it made. In comes a new manager that made the job a living hell. Right then and there decided I would never let one person or company be in...
