I plan to retire in south Jersey. Homes are much cheaper. I'll be close to the beach, and my daughter will be only about 1.5 hrs away. All God willing!
I would love to buy a mini RV and tour around the U.S.A. As for the new place to park the RV at when (if) I stop traveling, I quess that will be where ever I had discovered that now rocks my world.
Ideally, I would love to retire in a quiet (i.e., non-touristy) area of Hawaii. Perhaps somewhere on the Big Island. I know the cost of living is high, but I feel like the quality of life would be so wonderful.
I don't think I'd really move somewhere away to retire - I'd want to be close to family/friends but I'd love to get a second house in FL or somewhere near the beach where it's warmer in the winter.
Poor puppy! I have a friend who cannot stop buying toys for her doggies because it brings them and her so much joy. Beside that, pets unpredictably get sick and need care just like humans, so it can be difficult to set a "puppy budget." Having a retainer fund for emergencies might help.
Yes, and home renovations are definitely worth their own article. Naturally, this post doesn't imply that these are the only things that go over-budget!
I'm with Fruaglcat on home projects. And I'd also add pet costs.
Just when you think you've managed a good budget for costs your puppy goes and swallows a plastic squeaky and costs you $3,000 in surgery costs. Or is that just my puppy? :)
Not sure I believe in retirement per se. But I'm moving aboard a sailboat next year at 49 and will be heading toward the Caribbean. Is that retirement?
Not quite since I'll still be working. But it fits into my retirement dreams, such as they are.
Being that I live in Florida, I'd love to be able to retire to the opposite extreme in Vermont or up-state New York. That's typically a transition that's difficult to make due to the huge difference in cost of living but it's the goal.
You're right during my research I did find that L.L.Bean provides great warranty but I found mixed opinions about their customer service. It was a very close call!
I would like to retire in S. Carolina.
I would love to retire in Texas, so I can be closer to my sister and her kids.
The social work forgiveness is a scam. They do it by lottery and only offer about 5 per year with hundreds applying.

We would love to expatriate and retire in New Zealand or West Australia.
Retire in Portland then travel the world.

Nowhere near mountains! (I'm afraid of heights.) We want to somewhere along the east coast for family, but cheaper than NJ.

Dallas. Low cost of living but large city.
Costa Rica! It has no standing army and a large Quaker community. Perfect place for this peacenik.
I want to retire in Europe. I would love to travel too.
My wife and I both would lvd to eventually sell everything we own and just travel the world with no time pressure or agenda.
I will retire to Texas. The best state! It helps that I already live here and so does everyone I know.

Construction or home repairs!
