Re: Anybody around in their late 20's, saving hard for their dreams ?

To me there is nothing as beautiful as a coral reef, not even remotely close.
And the "data" I'm gathering from my diving network...

Re: Anybody around in their late 20's, saving hard for their dreams ?

I completely agree with that.
I think the main differences are that the risk tolerance people have now is much lower than 40 years ago and the comfort "expectations" are much higher. Therefore it's...

The adventure of course :wink:
I love boats, but to me, it's mostly a mean to an end.
I am after experiences such as :

- Seeing an island slowly pop on the horizon
- Diving a coral reef with...

Re: Anybody around in their late 20's, saving hard for their dreams ?

I am sorry to hear about that.
It reinforces my determination to see this through and not wait until retirement.

I live in Dover down south. Working for the good ol' tassie salmon farms.
Tassie is beautiful in summer and I've enjoyed the waters a lot.
Winters not so much :wink:

I'd be happy to meet up if...

Re: Anybody around in their late 20's, saving hard for their dreams ?

Good to know I'm not the only obsessed one around :wink:
I love the fact that you went back at it several times rather than a long saving stretch followed by a permanent retiring.

Re: Anybody around in their late 20's, saving hard for their dreams ?

Yes, I won't have nearly enough to retire, but I don't plan on retiring either.
After these 5 years of saving, I'll be around 250-300k Aud$ worth of savings.
I plan on investing about half, buy a...

That definitely hit home. :smile:
I have been living for the last 3 years spending only about 20-25% of my income and saving the rest.
Living in sharehouses, driving a 1991 commodore slowly to use...
