Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
There always the third world countries. A lot of Americans move to places south. I can see me dying with a drink in my hand, on a warm beach. Beats a cold Colorado winter in a nursing home any day.

This is true. I'm already planning and I have 30 years until retirement age. I'm looking into Ireland. Buy a house there. Have a management company manage it and rent it out while I'm not visiting. Help pay off the mortgage. Then sell my house here and love there.Originally Posted by BushMasterBoy
Ireland is great as long as you want to give up your firearm rights.
Well moving outside of US, kind of expecting it. It had it's pluses and minuses when moving away.
Different places can change some people's focus a bit. As an example, I used to get paid to spend a whole lot of time on the most perfect beaches in the world (Aitutaki, Seychelles, Maldives, Bora Bora, -the list filled multiple passports) and I can't think of a single one of those destinations where I sat there thinking "boy, I sure wish I could put up some paper plates and back off a thousand yards with a .308". Conversely, I don't think many people that live in Compton worry about tides and how that would affect tomorrows fish harvest. Those are extreme examples, but there are some places in the world I could move and completely forget about what a case of ammo cost. Unfortunately, my wife isn't as keen on living under a palm tree as I am.
As far as retirement planning, I have sadly been witness to people that had great plans and the calendar of their lives didn't last long enough. Some have had the best financial situation imaginable and didn't make it to 45, others had great plans and dreams for what they were going to do in retirement and expired at the dinner table at 50.
If you have a goal to do something, putting it off until "someday" isn't always the best plan.

I tell my buddy this all the time. He is one of those work a holics and doesn't take time off. Always says I can do it later in life.
My wife and I took all of July off and went to Europe. 2 week cruise. Few days in some cities and then a week in Ireland. We travel and do what we want. But we are planning for retirement, not to go and do things but to be able to sit around and not work.
Haha yeah it's funny a financial adviser was like "well when you retire you want the same level of life right"? I was like, are you insane? With a decent roof over my head, a warm bed and not having to work shit let me shoot a few days a week and sit in my rocking chair the others and I'm happy. I think the problem is a lot of people today view retirement is living the life with a boat, vacation homes, travelling the world, etc. And yes, for that you need some serious dough.
Yup. I want my house paid off and no debt. And like now - live within means. And possibly downsize.
