Obviously a great place to retire, but not a great place to make money.

Planning to buy our retirement house up there in approximately 14 years, 3 months, 19 days, 7 hours, 24 mins, and 8 secs....but who's counting?
I'll be bringing my NC pension but certainly plan to work doing something part time or close to it. |

You should buy it now and it will be almost paid for when you move in. That way you'll only be paying for a couple years into your retirement. LOL

You're right! I always keep that in mind but I cannot stop dreaming of being up there permanently. A new lake house for the family is in the works up there, so that will pacify me enough until that day comes (assuming the sale closes as expected).

I didn't want this to be political, but in a few seconds I found out that two of the top five have Republican governors (Iowa and North Dakota), so I don't really understand your point or trust your assessment. Maybe it takes more than just blind party loyalty to judge a state?

I have to agree here. Google party affiliation and you will found a growing trend of Republicans and Democrats changing their affiliation to Independent. What next? A new independent party?

Tennessee
Driving through Tennessee on 81 is an embarrassment. Seeing shacks with kids running around outside in a great nation tells me we have warped priorities.
North Dakota and South Dakota is going through an oil boom right now. Not surprise here.

I agree!
I slowed down and stepped back several years ago, maybe too early for financial reasons. I could have stayed in the rat race but all I did was work like crazy for the weekends, weeks, and vacation days at the lake that I cherished. Every fall I counted the days until the spring launch wishing the winter away.
As I moved on in years a light went on that said that I was wishing my life away for the small percentage of time that I had at the lake. I knew I enjoyed warm weather, boating, and beaches. I realized that it was available at the lake only 6 months of the year, if that. I am very fortunate that life worked out to enjoy warm weather and boating all year long. I attribute much of it to hard work but also realize that luck played a part too. I realize that the family and financial constraints that life presents preclude that from happening for many people. I get that. I guess what I am saying is: If you can, make the lifestyle changes you can, don't wait! Life is too short! Enjoy every minute doing exactly what you want to do. There are no luggage racks on a hearse! |
