Freshly retired. Perhaps not FI but RE for sure. Tying up loose ends to get mobile in a new to us old 28' Refurbished Holiday Rambler and 2016 F250 Tow vehicle. All paid for mind you.... debt free is a good thing. Heading for the 87 y.o. parents digs 1800 miles away from home. Leaving in...

Around Casper and central Whyomin, there is scadoodles of BLM land folks. That's right, this land is your land...this land is my land....and you as US citizens can just plop down right there on YOUR public land. FWIW I think the current limit for staying is 14 days then you must move your...

Well, I live in the area. DW and I stayed at Lake Village. It is fairly easy access to most of the major hot spots to see/visit. Kind of central location in the park. There is some infrastructure there like a store and restaurant and rv appurtenances. If you have a Gov ID, you can contact...

Still preparing and winterizing the house and the trlr and tying up loose ends. Attempting to leave late sept. to mid Oct. DW is healing from medical procedure for pain management. I plan to get her out walking. Wish me luck on that as she has been too sedentary for way too long. Parents are...

Turn the page, OP, I retired on the same day as you. Still only feels like a vacation. I am trying to get ready to hit the road and leave the snow belt for an extended travel journey south easterly from here. We have a 1999 x 28' travel trailer and an f250 gasoline 6.2l with tow package. DW...

Thanks, Part of this journey may be me visiting an Army buddy in your area. Think he lives near Sherill, NY. Leave the TT at my folks in the sunbelt and drive up to see him if we can fit it into the adventure. I hope my want to is not bigger than my can do.

It's been 6 (ex-)working days since I twisted off. I will go pick up my last paycheck at the job site today. Just their way of making sure you are really alive I suppose. I had 27 yrs of automatic payroll deposit. I have not had to take even one tranquilizer or sleeping pill to get through...

Just bought a pack of AtraII 18 bux and change. Thanks says the dual will fit my handle.

And when this thought process surfaces to me....I repeat the words Drain Bamage....grab the one I want and move on to the next event. So this is life in retirement...counting sheets of TP....eek

Yawn. Good morning. Slept in... it is 0675. What to do today....hmmmmm LOL:laugh:

Last 8 hours coming up. :dance: Slept fairly well and am actually emotionally ready to retire. I pray that I can find financial soundness in my arena and make good decisions.

So I have asked a hundred people, 50 said start Social Security, 50 said wait to start. I asked my Mother and she informed me that they went on social security early (not sure what that was for someone born in the 1920's) Mostly what struck me was that she said we have lived WAY past the...

Retiring at 1700 MDT tomorrow! What an emotional roller coaster. I will be trying to glean weather or not to start Social Security....or tap my TSP to sustain life.... or Both. My FERS will cover the cost to breath. And I just realized I dislike acronyms! (Thanks forum for the birthday...

This^^ plus the dollar amount to keep me within an acceptable tax bracket. I cannot take a lump sum because 200K+ income for one year is a party for the IRS. So I may develop a strategy to withdraw say $3K a month to quickly remove my money from the auspices of the government and assume control...

I need to draw down my TSP to insure my lifestyle maintenance. BUT if It actually turns out that I don't then I will move it into another arena where the rules are easier to co-exist with.

So if I understand my studies on this matter correctly, You are now a corporation and hold yearly corp. meetings and the things that go hand in hand with that. Your "corporate business" is now your IRA management. How do you know that you are not running amok of the rules that the government...

Dear Admin, forgive me if this has been hashed over already. Please advise me as to what I must be doing wrong in my posting process. I try to type and let the software do the carriage return/ line feed. (line parsing) and when I hit the post button ...well you can see the results. More like...

You are doing fine...really ....Now rinse off, Rub the meat down with a good spice mix inside and out. Inject the joints and deep tissue with some soy sauce.....Now get those turkey bag(s) put the treated quarters into the oven on 200 degrees for 10 hours or so....enjoy. (after this process...

Honestly, I would use the same mode only quarter them...put a Quarter into a turkey baking bag rubbed with your favorite seasoning rub and toss in some chunked onions and whole carrots just because. cook low and slow

No skin? Wow Wrap em in bacon bacon bacon....that would be a start Inject em with large amounts of soy sauce. Put them over coals and slow roast (be careful hot flames will not be slow enough) rotisserie would be handy. Expect to donate considerable time and diligence to the effort. The...

Yep I ran the numbers it is $280 for my calculation. That is the puny little carrot on a stick held in front of the donkey. I have to figure out how to balance that time (18 months more) against my happiness and sanity and convince myself that it is worth doing.....The way I dislike the...

My understanding is that in order to contribute to a Roth, you must be EARNING income.....and then you can only put in a percentage. Also you will want to have the Roth account so you can get your 5 years vesting.

Retirein 2024, I hope you are using the Roth TSP as the Pre-tax arena is VERY rule intensive on the withdrawl side of the house.
