Where are you planning on retiring

[Popol Vuh]

Poll question: Where are you planning on retiring

or have retired?

[chixydix]

1. I voted for current location. Which lends exactly zero to any conclusions your poll

might have found. :shrug:

[Popol Vuh]

11. zero conclusions?

You mean it doesn't conclude that you prefer to retire where you currently live? It doesn't conclude you prefer to stay close to friends and family? It doesn't conclude that you're happy with your current location?

Peace...

18. I wasn't trying to be a prick, I just thought "current location" could be Peoria or Peking

and so doesn't seem to contribute much to whatever it is you're trying to discern. But maybe I'm imagining things.
Or not. Who knows?
:D

[Popol Vuh]

28. I understand...

But I could have also just checked and see that your vote for current location equaled Roswell, New Mexico. :P

:pals:

2. I am retired and hubby will in 18 months or so

looking forward to it.....little place at the lake, fishing and hiking when we want and we will be able to first take that long dreamed of through-hike on the Appalachian Trail.

[jody]

3. Perhaps we'll meet each other on the AT. n/t

[leftofcool]

16. Ya never can tell.

We have hiked most of it in spurts but want to due the entire hike, providing our health holds out which looks good right now. Cancer be damned! We're going anyway.

[jody]

19. My thoughts exactly, cardiac arrest and triple by-pass be dammed, I'm going anyway. n/t

[Speck Tater]

4. Current Location. Which tells you NOTHING! NT

[Popol Vuh]

7. Why the animosity?

I mean you sound like my poll is for some kind of nefarious reason or something. Sheeeze

LOL..

[sailor65]

5. You don't have a choice for us

we are retiring as liveabords on a Catalina sailboat primarily on the Atlantic and in the Gulf.

[GodlessBiker]

6. Palm Springs.

[peacebird]

8. we moved here three years ago and plan to retire here. To which end we installed solar power

and built a greenhouse...
We have a small orchard, a big veggie garden, and a little flock of chickens.

We have 10 years til the mortgage is paid off, and that is when I can "retire" - more likely go to part time. Hubby can retire in 15 years.

9. I'm hopng for an appliance box in good condition.

:(

[Mike03]

10. My current location.

In the southwest.

[susankh4]

12. Hoping to move from OH ....

to MA, ME, or CT.

I love the northeast and the Atlantic Ocean!

[Peregrine Took]

13. I used to think that many people moved somewhere else when they retired

but then I read that very, very few of them move away from their home area, like less than 5%.

We wanted to move to Asheville, NC, a liberal bastion in the southeast but chickened out as we have no friends or family there. Still think about it every now and then although it is one of the states that taxes out of state pensions which is not good for retirees.

14. Retire?

By the time I'm old enough to do it, the retirement age will have gone up to 80.
I'll be working until I'm dead...

[TomInTib]

15. Retire from what?

Breathing?

Music?

Man, I am never gonna retire.

[Glorfindel]

26. Me, neither...I like working; it provides structure to life

and gives you something to look forward to. If I suddenly became very wealthy and didn't need to work, I'd look for opportunities to volunteer at least 3 to 5 days a week.

[RC]

17. Where is Central?

I's got this crazy little woman in KCMO. Really. In another couple of years...

[femmocrat]

20. We hope to keep our current house ....

because we love it.... and get a condo in NC for the winter and vacations.

We are a long way off from actually doing anything about it though!

[varelse]

21. Retirement won't be an option

I plan to die where I am now, however... if the cost of living doesn't drive me out first.

[MercutioATC]

22. Costa Rica....8 years to go.

...and I'll only have to see snow if I want to :)

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I wouldn't be anywhere but here. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. What is this "retiring" of which you speak?

I'm going to have to keep working until they finally drag my wrinkled, dead old ass out through the loading dock.

[kineneb]

25. ~$300/mo, incl. mortgage, insurance, prop. tax

why on earth would I move?

[El Pinko]

27. Retirement is for the privileged.

I have no expectation of ever being able to retire.

[oldhippie]

29. Europe, probably Germany.............

At least for the summers. Back to my roots (albeit 300 years ago.)

[enigmatic]

30. As far away from other people as possible

:D

[XOKCowboy]

31. Like Travis McGee I take my retirement a little chunk at a time...

and I go to Belize. I love it down there.

[Mz Pip]

32. Staying where we are

for now, at least. We've talked about moving to OR, AZ, and HI but our lives are here, our friends are here, our activities are here. IT would just take too long to start over someplace else.

Besides the thought of packing up this house gives me a panic attack. :scared:

[Quantess]

33. I'm a complete cynic and even at age 37, I still don't believe I'm going to live to old age.

It's flawed reasoning. I'm obviously still here.

[donheld]

34. Retiring are you kidding?

[Duer 157099]

35. The grave

unfortunately

[cleveramerican]

36. Oklahoma

just read thats its the cheapest state in the USA to live in.

[crankychatter]

37. South of Market, SF, with a tin cup and shopping cart
