Earlier this year we were talking to a couple FA's and they asked how we envisioned our retirement and how much we thought we would need so we described it and both basically said we need to dream bigger....
Thinking about some of our best vacations and it wasn't the ones to Hawaii, the Alaskan cruise or Disney Land it was the 5 hour drive to the mountains and the nice long walks and hikes just having an in-depth conversations with our boys.
We do have a timeshare and that's certainly not free but we will be doing a 4 day - $100 "vacation challenge" that I'm really looking forward to.
I'm a minimalist at heart but a minimalist maximist in practice (that's when you find the least expensive item needed and you buy multiples - such as guns ).
The older I get (I'm almost 50) the less stuff I "need" or want. Today the car I drive is about half as expensive as what I bought when I was in my early 20 that I couldn't afford and the house we have is certainly the least expensive/simplest (by far) amongst our peers.
Any of you in the same boat?
