In the USA, if one buys their health insurance via either a state exchange or healthcare.gov, they may find that the insurance choices available limit their healthcare options outside the geographic area represented by the chosen plan. Some, for example, might allow you to visit urgent care...

Good point, not remotely interested in getting involved in something the IRS goes after vs. something they consider correct and that passes their muster.

Good point. In our case, investment income means equities, bonds, REIT funds, the occasional hedge fund, and the like. We also own our primary (and only) home outright.

Totally disagree with sweet kind loving super-responsible DIL. Work / commute a few days a week per what your client would like and what works for you. Oh, and consider setting up an LLC for your "consulting firm" which might enable to capture that new pass-thru tax deduction for 20% of your...

So, we have a revocable living trust. Everything is titled in the name of the trust. We pay the taxes on the investment income, which is "passed through" to us. I'm sure we are far from the only folks here who have done this. ;) So, here's a thought for discussion: Should one consider forming...

Would never consider eating at a Mickey D's in Italy (or anywhere else outside the US). When we travel, we prefer to enjoy the local culture and cuisine, vs. a poor example of American fare. That said, if Italians want to allow an iconic American fast food joint next to the Duomo in Florence, I...

Great stuff here, quite inspirational! We recently returned from an 8-week, roughly 8,000 mile camping trip across the US in our Airstream, Rocinante. Not sure yet whether we're "Class of 2015", though at the moment I'm our Chief Outdoor Officer (COO). We photo-blogged our adventure, from...

We're not retired yet, but we've chosen a slightly different direction via a 28' 2014 Airstream and a Ram 1500 tow vehicle with crew cab /short bed and a couple of recumbent trikes (http://www.hpvelotechnik.com/produkte/gekkofx/index_e.html). We've had our rig out for a number of shorter...

I don't live there, but I can suggest you read a book: Affordable Paradise; the Secrets of an Affordable Life in Hawaii, by H. Skip Thomsen. It's a decent read with lots of practical advice from someone who has already made that journey.
