[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired in November 2024 at the age of 58, and the past 13 months have been absolutely fantastic. With a post-tax annual budget of $360K for the rest of my life and staying in good health, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively with my wife, who is ten years younger than me. Over the past year, we've spent a month in each of the following places: Argentina, Florida, San Diego, Italy, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Greece, Laos, and Cambodia. We plan to continue living out of suitcases for the next five years before eventually settling down. Honestly, I’m having the time of my life.  It is highly recommended.[/quote]
For people who spend all your time traveling- doesn’t it get old?  I spent two months in Europe and it just felt sort of pointless after a while.  One more cathedral, one more cafe.  I guess it felt like living life as a spectator rather than contributing to something more meaningful.  But that’s just me.[/quote]

Nope. I own a Leopard 48 catamaran and have been sailing around the Med for the past 3 years with my wife and on occasion my two adult children. It is absolutely fantastic with so much freedom. We are either moored, anchored, or pier-side 99% of the time with a passage to a new location every 3-4 weeks during the cruising season. Currently in Lefkada, Greece for most of the winter. Boat maintenance keeps me busy for sure when not exploring on land. We have a compressor onboard to fill our own dive tanks. Hope to eventually sail around the South Pacific but have been enjoying the Med too much. Definitely not for everyone and it’s hard to do properly (nice cat with the proper equipment) without having substantial funds. I can manage my investments using an internet connection with StarLink from anywhere. Life is good.[/quote]

You are on a sailboat off some med coast and not bored? You sure about that?   I guess taking your time to be on an anonymous local housewife  forum and tying away means life must be exciting.  [/quote]
