She got offered a job. Shit, to be comparable to what we have here, it would be at least double the price. But her pay wasn't doubling. Granted its at the base of the Bighorn Mtns, but it sure as fuck wasn't Jackson Hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "plan" as of now, is to become RV nomads when she retires. Mtns in summer, SW desert in winter. Maybe have a small place for a home base somewhere. Got 20 years min for that though.

Victor/Driggs not bad. Winters would suck though IMO. I don’t mind going to snow but after living in it most of my life it’s not something I would want... especially in retirement unless I was like those that live in Jackson hole.... fly out to one of your other homes that doesn’t have snow when you get sick of the snow, cold and blowing after a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you should be on a good track. Pick good growth and income funds and let it ride. If the market goes south now you’re buying it for cheap. You have to take a long term view with things, as it has to last you the rest of your life. My wife should be retiring about 5 years after me if we go to plan, then we want todo the motor home life for a while too. Tom has a great gig going spending winters in AZ.
