Things you want to experience, places you want to go.
White water rafting, sky diving, scuba diving, bungee jumping, piloting and aircraft, mountain climbing, traveling, paying off your house or....................................
What's on your list?

Me?
1. Traveling
2. I have flown a Cessna. Now for an F15
3. Pay off my house
4. Go on a cruise

 

1) Paying off the house is a biggie for me, then I CAN do whatever else I want to.
2) Actually, let me revise that. I'd like to be financial free/debt free enough to be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, whatever it is (haven't thought of some things yet).
3) Cruising is the only way I really like to travel so definitely more cruising.
4) I'd also like to go on safari in Africa before all the animals are gone. I'd like to see the big cats up close and personal.... well, after Roy's incident, maybe not all that close.

Cool thread, makes me dream again.

 

Most financial advisors would advise against paying off your house. Their favorite quote is "you can't eat your house". Meaning, when you are retired and sitting in a paid off house, and you don't have money for food, you can't eat the house. Not sure I agree, and everyone's situation is different, but, whatever...

 

I've heard that one too but something about not having to come up with a hefty mortgage payment on a fixed income appeals to me at this time of my life. Same holds true for a car note.

 

1.House is paid off.
2.Went on a cruise to Hawai,and to Greece Islands;never again.
3.Retired 11 months ago;f**k all to do ,all day to do it.
4.Plans on going back to work,in something I would like;don't what yet.
5.Having the impression of being usefull to society.

 

I'll bounce off this one with my mods
1. Me too...I love it...maxing out my 401-K with the bucks.
2. I'm talking up a list of "20 must-see destintions before I die" list with my wife. Love to travel
3. I was thinking of 62 in 4.5 years...starting to think 65 would be OK if my job continues to allow enough time for s2ki.com...like now
4. Also wondering about this? Retire, travel for a year or two, then do something else...buy a small business or seasonal B&B, etc.
5. Already doing this with Habitat for Humanity work...occasionally frustrating non-profit adventures but generally rewarding

...more To Do items:
6. Investigate Long Term Care Insurance (another topic to start?)
7. REALLY get my financial house in order with a PLAN (instead of just filing the quarterly statements and saying to self, manyana...)
8. Designing another house (AARP friendly ) for my extra lot
9. Reading all the books that were passed over, as I pursued a non-liberal arts higher education

 

Short term, finish packing, start car, and head to Hagerstown!!

 

Me too. I'll take care of the rest of the to do list on Monday.

 

First priority is to work another 9 years and pray a bunch that the Dow goes to about 12,000. With that being said there would be enough time to contemplate, at my leisure, what is left to accomplish.
