I figure my Son will end up with my 140,...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Except you pay property taxes on the house, water, sewage and garbage are not included like in a Marina, and where I live there is no broadcast TV, so if you want that, you pay for that too, included...

I've run the numbers, I end up...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Whoa now, I'm not keeping the house, in fact I got lucky and sold it last year. We are renters now.

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

I have become very aware recently of the costs to work, last couple of years since I got the idea to cruise I've been running numbers and it's astonishing, truth is my Wife makes nothing, not by the...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

I'll keep the old airplane, I have budgeted for the hangar, it's not much if any more than storage would be, and furniture won't go in the hangar, stuff like my tools and hobby stuff will. We will...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Birth certificates, stocks, titles, discharge paperwork which is apparently very difficult to replace and your not getting anywhere with the VA without them, form 2A I believe, Social Security cards,...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

I've almost given up on getting rid of stuff, except the big stuff still, one, maybe two cars, a truck, motorcycle that kind of junk.
Most of the other stuff, all kinds of stuff is going into...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

I understand, I wasn't saying you thought yourself superior, just pointing out that not all of us are blessed with good genes.
My Mother died in her early 60s, my Father made it to his mid...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

A lot of it is genetics, sort of you have to play the hand you were dealt, cause that is just the way it is, life isn't fair. Some are born with what we all think of as beautiful bodies, and stay...

Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

One reason I am retiring "early" I'll be 58, cause truth be known, I don't have near the desire to do work like I used to, Used to I would have gone down to work on the boat and knocked out three of...

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Re: Retire now & go cruising or THIS is what happens!

Yeah, that's not a good sign :whistling:
