What's the number?

[SkiCougar]

Pulling the pin in Sept. My wife in Sept 2019. Plan to take a couple of years off then ultra part time ( a couple months/yr for a few years). Our financial guy says we can do it easily if we can live off 60k/yr (without working at all) starting in 2020. Figure the part time work for both of us will pay for a bunch of travel. He built some nice things into the plan like new vehicles every 10 years and a 100k reno on the house.

I think it's very do-able, and I'm excited as hell.

congrats !

trying to do it in 2019 myself, but will probably be 2020.

may just sit next to my daily commute for a while and marvel that I'm not in it anymore, but then am wanting to follow Ara and Spirit's lead and do my own 'oasis of my soul' over the northeast.

is 90 000 bucks of that dedicated to the new tennis court in the back yard, Gary?

For the record, really lookin' forward to You and better half move back to T town... Thornhill just ain't the same without you around...neither are the Trippple G movie nights without the polish porch peeler vodka Caesars!

Haha. thanks man. Yeah, last year or so I've been missing the hood. recent work development made me decide now must be the time. Viv' s totally down with it and working the extra year, while I play, that's nice.

There's no money in the budget for clam juice.

Fuck that. I do make my own though. Motts has the damn MSG. Not that it matters when I'm in the pub and need my some Caesar loving 🤤

Thanks, and good luck.
One can only aspire to a fraction of the joyful moments those 2 enjoyed.

Cool. 60K/year is plenty if you're house is paid off and RE taxes are reasonable. Best o' luck to you and the Mrs.

[SumJongGuy]

20K MREs, 5K cans of dog food, 50K .223 rounds for AR15s, 3 month supply of potassium iodide, Couple bottles of Tamiflu, couple cases of powdered bleach and you're probably good. Oh wait, that's for the doomsday gun nut thread..

Thanks for the affirmation, and the wishes Steve!

[iceman]

I think Steve forgot it's 60K Canadian, that's like twelve US dollars.

[GeezerSteve]

Well, it's closer to US$47,000, which is plenty for a couple who live the simple life and have a paid off house.

FTR I've met Gary and was aware he's a Canuckistanian. He and I share a very similar haircut.

[iceman]

Fuck I hope I don't lose my sense of humor when i get old.

[XXX-er]

60 k is pretty good ime

[iceman]

You have to get about twice that down here, just to pay for healthcare.

Ha, but on the other hand, lawyers only laugh when cashing checks.

that's your idea of humor?

[muted]

this may be a great joke, or let’s get real he’s a lawyer.

Post 666!

[iceman]

haha

[iceman]

he'd laugh if I sent him a check

[swissiphic]

Retire in Kitwanga/Cedarvale and 60k would probably last you 3 good years. 2 good years in Stewart. Don't need a car or sled. Bike/walk around town and hitch hike free helidrops for skiing if yer a skidbiter.

Come for the winters, stay for the financial advice
