Don't need a cruise and it's against the bylaws if you are in ChCh. I am partially self sufficient as I grow veges. Superyacht no. Happy with my 95 RAV4 |

What got me thinking of this: My brother is a farmer who know another farmer who retired 30 years ago with 125K (yes you could do that then, with probably a third of that) but he is still alive today.......So would 2 million be enough if you were still going to be alive in say 50 years...me thinks not You are only going to be able to retire if your income/interest out weighs your expenses. And my friend is 40 odd lives on a farmlet "almost" selfsufficent, extremely thrifty, and considers himself retired. I agree with him, he is enjoying his lifestyle and young children so why not. Just need to set his homebrew up:banana |

| 1186627 | 2011-03-16 00:26:00 | I consider myself to be semi retired as I only work part-time at the moment and I am living in in the home I will retire to. I do not have expectations of a high life style but I will be able to get by when I retire fully in two years time. | Bobh (5192) | ||
