    55+ senior community for those UNDER 55

    I feel like this question has to have been asked before but I can't find a thread. Going to officially fire this year or next. Will be 55'ish but my young bride will only be 50'ish. Plus, I have to admit I am pretty juvenile at times. Lol. Currently live in a nice community of all ages...

    Would you travel to Dominican Republic now?

    We have a scheduled trip to Punta Cana in a couple weeks and we have never been there. I am not normally a wimp but the combination of the mystery deaths and the general travel advisory have me leery. Actually for two reasons: 1) I don't want to become the next mystery death and 2) it's a week...

    Guilt v. Helping Loved Ones - fear of being tied down

    Happy Marriages (the un-divorce thread)

    How much is enough?

    We are in our mid/late 40's, two teen's, with a high income and are high net worth. My wife is not convinced we can retire though. I tried to explain there could always be a catastrophe (lawsuit, financial collapse, etc...) but generally speaking we have enough to fire now. I explained the most...

    Did you move after FIRE and find the grass greener?

    I have some thought of moving upon fire. Maybe new city or even new state but likely in the US. I have a ton of acquaintances here, in my home city of 30'ish years, but few really close friends. In fact, almost nobody except for neighbors we see very often. Also, I have a fantasy of sort of...
