Where are you going to retire?

TigerBait1971 · Nov 2, 2021

Just turned 50, so I'm starting to plan things like I won't actually die in my office.

Anyone have any hot tips?

@HammerDown , you're in the Caribbean aren't ya? What part?

We've taken some trips to Belize and have one scheduled for Costa Rica this summer to scope things out.

We’ll either stay right here in San Diego or possibly Italy, most likely either Napoli or Sicilia region.

My wife wants Hawaii, but it’ll probably depend on where our kids settle and if there are grandchildren.

which island? Do you guys get there a lot?

HammerDown · Nov 2, 2021

Soooo many places to go. For me it's all about getting what I want for the best possible value.

@TigerBait1971 we were in the Caribbean for almost three years but now somewhere else.

Drop me a PM if you are comfortable sharing your experience.

We are thinking down there or some middle of nowhere USA with a lake.

Still haven't ruled out living on a trawler down on the Intracoastal, but the wife needs more convincing on that one.

I don't think I'll ever retire. My grandpa is pushing 80 and still works full time and not because he has to, and I take after him a lot.

If I live long enough, they'll find me dead in a rock quarry when I'm 80.

If I have a change of heart, probably some place like Harlan, KY. Land is pretty and cheap

Big Island. Kona area. We go there pretty frequently (usually every two years or so).

Maybe SE Asia. Cheap living, cheap food, cheap hookers.

Our last trip was to Kona, but we also made it over to the Hilo side. Also have been to Oahu and Kauai, which was my favorite.

Thanks for the update.
Why don't you move in with Juice Gator and suck his dick. He hates snowbirds AND boomers and I'm both.

IF I live long enough to retire, it depends on the wife. If she's still around, we'll probably stay in the Northeast. If not, i'd like to move to the Southwest.

I like Kauai a lot as well. I’m not much of a Maui or Oahu fan comparatively, but there is a lot more to do on Oahu.

Hawaii is expensive isn't it?

Or that's the impression I have, which could be totally wrong.

Yes. It’s a bit pricey.
