Um yup. Thinking Oregon or Washington though. Got 20 years to ponder this.

 

I'll never be able to retire. I've not a penny saved for it, my generation will most likely not get Social Security and I started a family late in life.

 

Insanity.

 

Hard road. Never had retirement till I got this gig with the state. Only smart thing I did was buy low and fight like hell to pay this house off on a mechanics income. Now I'm doing okay. Equity rich but bank account poor.

 

Crazy huh. On Zillows you see em. 10 years ago worth 80k and now they get 200k for a 10 year old trailer in a park. Pass.

 

Morning all, might have crappy winters and crappy roads, but my house cost $30,000 and I live in a small quiet town where I can leave my doors unlocked. No complaints here.

 

Never too late to start Mark. I had some, lost most during divorce. I've started over and doing alright now. Trust me, it ca be done. Don't get me wrong, retirement is still a LONG ways off!

 

The older I get the less appealing CA is.

 

In order to start saving for retirement I'd have to get my own checking account and prevent my wife from having access to it, which brings on a whole new set of troubles. A lot of issues going on there.

 

I envy you...well, except for the part about not having the Rockies as your western scenery.
