When I was searching for a residence for my brother I found fractional ownership homes in HI. One advantage of HI is that all months are 'high' season.

We have experienced winters in southern Florida, and thought they were paradise (with too much traffic). We feel like we have a pretty good handle on how much we'd like Florida. Not sure about SC, as we have never been there. Can anyone venture an opinion on how retiree-friendly that state may be? Please use your own definitions of "retiree-friendliness," since I get a lot of benefit from other people's points of...

Welcome Tozo, My initial advice is to take the jump to RE. But maybe there are a few hurdles. Are you bound contractually to continue working for the agency you sold? I know of some business buyers that make the purchase price and payments subject to the former owner running the place for a few years making specified profits. Also, how liquid is the 3.2 mil? Do you have real estate or other business ownership value that should not be...

Outstanding. I'm so glad that you made the right choice. Your family will appreciate the "new you", as well, from my experience.

I cannot possibly think of a better time to say, "Is this rocket science ?" Here's some other cliches to inspire you -Take the plunge, enjoy life while you can, goof off, run don't walk, go for it! Oh, and welcome to the board.

Retiring after 39 years...
Published (2009-01-04 16:38:00)
Perkrhead-Congrats on the early retirement. How in the hell did you stand it for 39 years. I was with GM for 34 years, management, and I couldn't wait to get out. Think your financial situation is in good shape. I retired at 52 and it drove me nuts to have a lot of bills. Inherited some money from my folks later, made money on a house and the market in 1995 finally got debt free. Today I have no debt, which is a good feeling (sleep well...

My husband retired some time ago, but I am still working. I would like to retire in 4-5 years, and we would then like to live most of the year in the Mid- Atlantic region, and winters in a semitropical clime (Florida or elsewhere). Yes, we aspire to be snowbirds! Like husband, I will have a COLAd pension, but no SS. Our investments are down by 40% or so
nothing new there! We have a good-...

Hi, I stumbled on this site while Googling for loss suffered in the current market. I've got investments in the mutual funds and all of them have suffered such huge losses that it's got me scared. As a single(widowed) mom I need to be careful and preserve as much of my assets as I can. I live in northern CA and work in the hi tech industry. I have spent my entire adult life working ...

Hi everyone! I'm a 50 year old guy who just completed 30 years with a company whose stock has gone from $80 to $2 in 8 months. I think I'm lucky because I'm grandfathered in what's called a 'lump sum' retirement - whose option can be removed by management at any time (since I'm management). The company is also facing layoffs and record declining sales. So - I decided to pull the trigger ...

Hi all. I am 52 well, 53 in a few weeks. Married no kids at home. Wife quit last year. I run a insurance agency that I sold 2 years ago. Been nervous about making the jump to ER. Have 3.2 mill net worth. zero debt/ mort. Been hanging around this forum for a while. The money doesn't worry me so much as the shift in lifestyle. The job is 52k and a ton of stress and plenty of 50 hour + workweeks. ...

Hello everyone! Great, informative forum; glad I found you! I'm helping my parents prep for retirement, and we're having trouble with planning when to start drawing the pension. In particular, we're not sure how to take into accound benefits should my father's multiemployer plan fail. Perhaps someone may be able to answer a few questions or point us in the right direction. In a nutshell ...

I have been with the same basic company (telecomm; Southern Bell> Bellsouth> now AT&T) for 39 years and have had enough. So, at 58 years old I have decided to hang up the phone sometime in Feb '09.

I am married (empty nester) and wife works ...

My conscience got the better of me...and money of course. My Step-Daughter gets out of Uni in Sheffield in 2 more years so that is what I am shooting for now (as usual, only with VERA) at 54...Summer 2011. Whether it is the smartest thing to do with our money....I think we are going to throw a fair amount of money at our mortgage here in the UK. We are limited with the fixed contract to no more ...
