So youngins and oldins alike, what is your wish for retirement? Grow old, work your *** off, collect social security and bitch about young people wasting their youth? Retire to in a mountain, become a recluse?
Mine is simple I guess, or rather ours. I'd like to sell the house, buy a sail boat and spend my golden years wondering locations near the equator, pulling into port and throwing out the anchor, for a day, week, year, who knows how long and for my last 20 years or so people will have great stories about whether or not I am still alive and where I last sent them a post card from. Fishing, listening to music wind in my sails. Every once in a while I'll stop off at the bank of bad habits and make a deposit
Yea that's right, no cars, no cell phones, no people.

Maybe you should start a NoPirates.com forum in the mean time??

I figure, as the house is currently worth about 225k it should be worth more then enough to buy the boat I want. I'm fairly picky on the config, so the boat will cost a bit, but i figure the house will be a wash and I can retire off the rest.
LOL we'll cross paths, swap stories of our adventures and back to sea we go.

still have to have a real motor to get into port, they don't take too kindly to you sailing up to the dock in most places. Besides... a P-port 20B sailboat would sound sick!
