Wherever I am. I don't want to start a whole new life when I retire.

Wherever I can find a good dilapidated house on a hill, to assume my urban legend status as "Crazy old man jonas."
I told you to stay off my damned yard! I'm coming back with my machete!

Like I'll ever be able to retire... If I could, I'm thinking...Las Vegas, baby! (Las Vegas, NM, of course) I might have to try Argentina if it gets too crazy in this country.

Somewhere near the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Buy some land and create a privately funded Wildlife preserve.

I'm with sgt. (Not retiring to live with him but retiring wherever I happen to be :o)) And I'm not "with him" with him, just agreeing with what he said...nevermind...I'm going to get rumors started...

A sturdy houseboat, so I can survive in the coming waterworld. Oh, yeah, I'll need a parrot.

snap, make sure you take a jar of dirt...and a plant. And say hello to Kevin Costner.

No one can retire because then you can't afford the cost of health insurance. But if we are going to dream here, maybe New Mexico or northern California.

Moderate weather, the smell of l pines and a view of the mountains.
Overpriced Flagstaff, AZ might work, but who can afford it?

I'd like this for an OTS: "What, if anything, have you done to plan for retirement?" I think we'd see some interesting (scary) responses.
If you don't plan for retirement, you won't retire. For many of us, this question is "What sort of work do you plan on doing when you are in your 80s?"
JJE007 6 years, 2 months ago
I invest a small amount in stupidity each day. If we'd all do this, we could retire with a thousand points of light in a kinder, gentler nation. We'd rarely see kinder/gentler, of course. I mean, a thousand points of light isn't very bright!~)

Sue, that's how rumors get started. Started by the jealous people.

Sitting on the deck looking out over the Sacramento Mountains in the Land of Enchantment, I gotta admit, this would be a contender. We're off to Ruidoso, Inn of the Mountain Gods. Woo Hoo
See all y'all Thursday. Be good!

Trinity-
Is the Scipio Supper Club still in operation? I went to a very unpleasant company holiday party there about 12 years ago, give or take a year.
Too bad the punks burned down the schoolhouse...I wouldn't be able to find the right place to turn now.

The best places in the world to retire are in Australia. Having researched over 200 great locations, written two books on the subject,...it is plain that Australia are blessed with some of the best places in the world to retire. www.where2now.net

Hmm... I'll be retiring here shortly... damn, that bed looks nice!

I hope to retire in extreme west Lawrence, where, when that fateful day arrives, I will lie down in some remote field... and let the wild coyotes tear me asunder....
Wait a minute!- even more poetic:
... and let the wild chickadees tear me asunder....

New York...I'd go down on Broadway and see some of those skits that they are always talking about.
