    FIRE-ees: any regrets?

    Not one regret! I'm just happy I was able to retire when I did, and able to enjoy my remaining life on this earth. Many folks work their selves to death with stressful jobs and die before they're able to retired and I didn't want to be in that group. You can't buy your Health and You can't buy...

    Do you lack intellectual stimulation after retirement?

    To answer your question, No, as I can use my mind a little more creative now, and not like a robot for the U.S. Government I was working for. Life for me now is an adventure and I can make changes everyday about where I'm going and what I will be doing and it's not limited, so I think I'm more...

    I used to have a RV (5th Wheel) for camping from May through Nov, and I paid about $8000 for it and it was well worth the $$$. It was in excellent condition and it was when I sold it.

    Criteria - Why did you select your ER city/town/community?

    I plan to retire soon, if everything works out. I plan to make South Dakota my retirement base. However, I will spend a lot of my time traveling while full-timing in my RV in the southwest portion of the U.S. I chose South Dakato for no state income tax, low registration fees for vehicles, low...
