    Default Where Do You Want to Retire?

    A BIG reason why I am dancing is because I am seriously saving and planning for my retirement. Even though I am only 28, I want to retire at an early age and be lazy. Right now, I am considering retiring in either The Philippines or Hawaii (maybe The Big Island). I have joint problems and arthritis, so I need to live in a place that has hot weather all year round so I can feel free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I hate the cold weather! I want oceanfront property, too, dammit!!! I LOVE the ocean, watersports, golf, as well as the island culture and laid-back life in general...it's who I am. Where do you want to retire?

    Good question. I just have absolutely no idea though. I love Melbourne, I was born here. But that far down the track I just have no idea what the circumstances will be.

    I seriously LOVE Portland. The public parks, the proximity to national parks and the ocean, the city's bicycle culture, the abundance of restaurants with vegan food, the general acceptance of strip clubs (I want to open one someday). I think I wanna stay here, buy a little house, grow vegetables and have lots of dogs.

    Ideally, Tasmania. But if Australia won't have me, then Vermont or east Tennessee.

    Alaska in the summer and Hawaii in the winter has always been my dream setup, though I would also consider a Montana/Fiji combo.

    I would like to be near the sea but I really don't know. My hubby needs at least another 15 years in the union to get a full pension so I guess we have a little time to come up with something. One thing I know we won't be staying in NJ. It's crazy expensive now and the taxes are a joke and I honestly don't think it's going to get any better.

    R wants to go to Hawaii period and wants to live there, retire there, etc. If it's possible, I'm all for it.

    If I ever retire? I dunno. I might stay in Florida, I might go back to NYC. Not sure. But it'd be one of those two, at this point.

    I don't know about Hawaii... depends on humidity as I don't know about the weather there. I like the lifestyle though. My favorite weather is California, so maybe there.... socal.

    sigh. I have no idea. So much world, so little time! I can think of a million places I'd love to retire. I'd say Melbourne too...but by the time I retire I'll most likely have lived there for years, so maybe I'd want someplace new. Would also love to retire to a tiny flat in London and spend my old years singing in the chorus of every amateur operatic society that will have me, lol.

    But at the top of my list right now is Trieste...or maybe somewhere in Liguria (Italy). Wherever I end up, I hope to have enough $$ for at least a cardboard-box-sized second home somewhere in that area.
