greetings from B.C.
Great forum here... I'm going to have to retire early to have time to read it all....
I'm 53, looking at bailing out within 4 or 5 years max.
Feels like a tough call sometimes, but after reading some of the "best of" topics, it doesn't seem soon enough!
We're selling our house, and buying down in the spring of 08, and at the same time, building our retirement home at the lake. By next fall, we'll be able to really start crunching numbers, but of course the burning question is, how much do we really need per month to retire on?
I work 8 days on and 8 days off year around, with a full 6-figure salary, so it's not too hard to stay.
But everyone I talk to (retired people) says the same thing,.... you don't need nearly as much as you think, and if they knew what it was like, they would have gone years earlier.
Wife and I have so many interests and things to do, we don't know what to do FIRST sometimes, so that certainly won't be an issue!
What to do!
