Where you want to retire and live?

[Endus]

Definitely beautiful. Not sure about the mountains, but the islands like Victoria and those in Washington State are amazing. Expensive as hell the places I've seen though.

If you're talking like Vancouver or Victoria, it can be pretty pricey. The northern end of Vancouver Island, though, isn't. House prices in Courtenay (up the coast from Nanaimo) are in the $300-500k range for 1-4 bedroom houses (median, so there's cheaper and more expensive). A little further to Campbell River and it's more like $200k-450k.

I'm wanting to move to the area for the climate and scenery, and I like smaller towns anyway.

Mars. Or the moon, ive heard its made of cheese.

remember to take the crackers...

2.1 has things planned out for us. We'll eventually retire in Hunan, either Changsha or Yueyang. There's lots of nice scenery and wonderful food in the region and 2.1 is a native.

Had things worked out differently, I was considering Inner Mongolia or perhaps making the jump to Mongolia itself.

I don't think that is how wisdom is gained.... >_>

San Pedro, Belize. Absolutely beautiful, very little language barrier, not too expensive, small town feel (most people drive golf carts around town), wonderful weather (barrier reef protects from most hurricanes). The people are also so lovely down there, very friendly.

Never really thought about it.
I'd like some place calm, with less people and better air (If that's gonna be possible in 30 years)

[melodramocracy]

There won't be any retirement for me, so I don't spend time thinking about it.

I'm picking Alaska, U.S. How about you?

Follow up.

How old do you want to be when you retire or is it a dollar amount?

I've set my sights on Lugano, Switzerland.



Not that I think I will be able to afford that, but it's something to dream about.

I'm never retiring, at 95 I'm going to drop dead at work and they'll have to drag me out.

[Karfal]

Someplace I don't have to spend so much fucking money just to keep a roof over my head.

Stay clear of liberal shit hole states then.

You'd have to survive into your 70s to retire and live, and honestly, what kind of living will it be then anyway.

[Jimson]

Same place I am now... Michigan. Although I promised my wife we could move to one of the Southern states where she grew up, like TN or NC. We'll see what happens.

I’d love to retire in Scotland. It’s where my family is from and it calls to me. I know it won’t happen, though. My husband is from the States and our children were born here. He’s very patriotic and I don’t seem him giving it up to live overseas. We’ve compromised and agreed we would retire in one of the New England states.

FUCK YEAH SCOTLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

Tbh, maybe not even retire, but i would love to move to Portugal sometime soonish. Beautiful country, great weather, fantastic culture, full of history, delicious food and beautiful girls.
Its a poorer country than scotland overall, but i would take the minor hit in my standard of life for what Portugal has to offer.

if i had to pick between living in a conservative governed state, and living in a liberal state where i cant afford to survive... i would just fucking move country.

This is the Internet. Someone is always pulling something out of their ass. In this case, however, it is an actual quote. Here ya go! With video!

somewhere cold, likely i'd go back to ND .. but for me to retire means i'd have to win the lotto to have they money i want. I may switch to online teaching if i get tired of the daily grind though.

[wookybear]

There is a beautiful little town by the sea in Ireland that my Mum grew up in. That will be where I retire.

Mars. Or the moon, ive heard its made of cheese.

Cheese is too ambiguous to a be a plus. Cheddar/Parmesan = good, ricotta not so good.

[namecraft]

I'd like to live in a cave

[Xerra]

Retire and live are not compatible terms for me.

Same, with how U.S. will have its social security die off by the time I 'retire' not to mention I believe in euthanasia so if I deem myself useless or my standard of living/survival is not worth while then I will just off myself. I will do anything to not have my family members pushing my addled brain drooling mess around wasting their life because of some deluded desire not to let me die.

I'll space mail you some, if Buzz Aldrin doesn't eat all the samples again.
