I'll have to take your word for it. :-) But speaking of prairies, I imagine that's why a fellow I met here ("Captain Carl" Brachear, orginally from Cornland Illinois; www.capcarl.blogspot.com) who is doing his semi-Retirement thing here on Saipan likes it here. He's told me that his childhood...

LOL. I guess you might indeed experience Island Fever here as Saipan (12.5 miles x 5.5 miles; 46sq miles)  is a lot smaller even than Jamaica (4,411 square miles) where I grew up, and which I could recommend for a whole lot more! :-) But I guess it really boils down to what you're accustomed...

Thanks! You'll forgive my ignorance...Island fever? Please explain.

hey Keith, the fortune is all mine! I'm excited to be a part of this. The entire concept of early retirement (with the added suggestion of using one's passion to facilitiate it) is one which I heartily endorse, so finding an entire community of like-minded thinkers is pretty cool! I've posted...

Check out www.welovesaipan.com. (Now this is my own bias, but there are less complimentary sites about Saipan that you may wish to read (or not at all, as I chose not to while doing my own research about Saipan) AFTER you get a dose of the positive side of things. And no, the water availability...

Don't mind the questions at all, but wow, I just happened to surf on to the forum and posted two hours ago, and haven't been able to leave! It's 10:34am on Thursday here in the Pacific, so the day has just started and I've got some beach to roam. So, I'll save the answer to your first question...

Hi Yakers, Now, I can only speak from my personal experience, but what I've found is I actually speak to some of my friends MORE now than I did when I was in New York. Being caught up in the pressures and pace of day to day life in the big city made it almost impossible to really hang out with...

Hi Laurence, I definitely agree with Kiyosaki's truths. Among other things, I've found that one of the biggest deterrents to people pursuing their passions, living their dreams, achieving financial independence and freedom, and retiring early is a misconception of what assets are and how to go...
