If you’ve been saving all your life to retire together, would you buy a decent sized property with an SO or travel?

[inkyvampire]

[LiamSawyer]

Whst do you consider various decent sized property? I already have a half acre property in the suburbs that I built my house on. It takes 2 hours to cut and trim the lawn using a ride on lawn tractor.

[inkyvampire]

Whatever makes you happy.

[lightbulb27]

gosh dang you are old...

I like both, but smaller property and ability to travel. however, has to be a place I like staying else I'd rather have space. I like space between neighbors.

[inkyvampire]

…I’m just private. ( :n
I love space too!

Travel. Cheaper to live on cruise ship and it’s all inclusive

[inkyvampire]

Great idea!

[Dinklex3]

Definitely travel. Gotta travel while you’re healthy.

[SnowedIn]

We've actually talked about this. I'm going to build us a tiny house on the Maine coastline. My wife is going to travel. We'll meet together often but that's the plan.

[inkyvampire]

You have it set! Wonderful

[SnowedIn]

You are kind! Making it happen is a different reality... 🙂

[inkyvampire]

Take that leap!!

[SnowedIn]

I value your encouragment

[inkyvampire]

Just don’t listen to me. I’m young and foolish. haha

[SnowedIn]

If I have learned anything being almost 50 it's that while I have experience to offer young folks, they have MUCH to offer me, particularly perspective and a fresh look at something. I NEVER don't listen. There's so much in your head Ms. @inkyvampire that the world needs -- please don't ever not speak.

[inkyvampire]

You are kind. Thanks so much!

[SnowedIn]

Bitte sehr!

Well, Jesus has been trying to buy The Promised Land for a long time...

I'd think he'd have to have enough money by now if he was a smart investor for the past 2000 years.

After all,...

Already have the property, so I would like say travel a little bit. Not go crazy or anything bc I love home and their is not place like, but see some places we both always wanted to see.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'd just want a house of my own... and then hope property taxes don't keep going up like they have recently. I've already seen the world, so I don't have shit to see.

[Majorlyconfused]

There’s always shit to see

[D_Bone_Steak]

@Majorlyconfused lolz, not for me... seeing new shit is the last thing I want out of my life. Like I just found out I'm going to be moving yet again... military lifestyle, we live 2 to 3 years at a time util we finally get to not be forced to go all over the place constantly. It's a case of one's trash is another's gold I guess.

[Majorlyconfused]

My boyfriend is a private contractor and has contracts for a year at a time all over the world. He’s since stopped doing that and wants to settle in one place looking for a UAV job. Until then he can’t plan his future

[D_Bone_Steak]

@Majorlyconfused Then you get it... I mean I lived in Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Australia, where I have to go places like the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Thailand... and now I'm getting moved around in the states. I would just really like to lay down some roots and not have to keep moving around.

I just got informed that I have to move from here in Bremerton WA, to Newport RI... rent is like twice now. I can't plan or just settle because of this lifestyle.

[Majorlyconfused]

But he’s stopping now and settling in Houston and he still can’t plan. Do you think that’s valid of him to say that? He’s tryna find a job and a place of his own and can’t plan his own future and advised me to plan my own…..

[NathanDavis]

smaller house would be best, I think... a lot less maintenance and costs

a good location would be a priority rather than size

travelling would be a most, if health allows, lol

[Emiliamazing]

We live on some acreage right now, and a lot of our decisions regarding retirement location will depend on where our children end up.

[milkov]

I'd buy a property to have stable resting place that I can truly call mine. And then travel if we got some extra savings

[BCRanger10]

Probably travel. We don't want or need a huge fancy place.

[jamesgoldman]

A decent property not unmanageable

Let the rest keep earning to fund travel and other luxuries

[Guy13]

Hard assets are always better choice than cars and traveling

[dreamstar72]

Buy a decent size property, build and explore the land. Be able to appreciate what I accomplished.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would buy a decent size house.

[joeldalton]

Why not both? Take a year or two, buy an RV and travel the continent. Then buy a decent sized property in the place you like the most.

[Hardworkingguy]

I would consider buying a property that would help me to get a stable income after retirement

[Charliefretz329]

Buy the property and use it to create income that you can use to travel.

[Gent207-2]

Traveling and magnet fishing for me

[inkyvampire]

I’ll have to look up what that is. Sounds interesting.

[Gent207-2]

Very much so you can find all sorts of cool stuff with just a powerful magnet and rope.

[Majorlyconfused]

Small apartment and travel. But the apartment would be lovely just not sizeable

[Agape93]

Property all day long

[FunkyMonkee]

Unless I already had one, property.

[ariadneR]

We'd probably buy an rv and travel.
