HI ...I'm posting here because some members recommended it from my very first thread yesterday in "Fire & Money" under "Fill in the Blanks".
I've been reading the forums for awhile and have learned a tremendous amount from alot of you...LBYM, etc and even followed advice of 'downsizing' .......DH (53) and I (46) moved to a cheaper area to ER in the future, but came to the conclusion we much prefer the city and all it has to offer. Yes, this means working alittle longer but I guess being city folks has its price. So with this realization we'll need more $$ to live the city lifestyle AND have a nice home in a good neighborhood, etc.
So the motivation to my first post was....how many are along the same path?
To repeat our LIFESTYLE GOALS and WISHES....we wish:
1. $75K - $100K/yr after tax
2. $1M - $1.5M in the City on the west coast (preferably Vancouver, BC)
3. $500K - 750K secondary home to avoid the rain and winter.
How about you guys?
