Popular Post Dave Hounddriver Posted May 16, 2015 Popular Post Posted May 16, 2015 what is enough Just a little more. There never seems to be 'enough'. But it always seems that 'just a little bit more' will be enough. Its like tomorrow never coming. Best to do it now and learn to get by on what you have than try to save enough for everything you will want in your remaining lifetime. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bows00 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Right now, I am leaning towards moving there October 2017, Subic Freeport. I will be living on my pension, rental income and investments without touching my TSP (401K, will allow to compound until I reach my number). All the financial numbers seem to be ok, but I'm still uneasy about it when I think about the amount I am leaving on the table... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curley Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Right now, I am leaning towards moving there October 2017, Subic Freeport.

All the financial numbers seem to be ok, but I'm still uneasy about it when I think about the amount I am leaving on the table... I had the same doubts as you, then the 2008 crash wiped out a lot of my assets and future income. I have now been retired 2 years and am loving it PLUS I found that I do not need anything like as much money as I had planned on "needing". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bows00 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 I had the same doubts as you, then the 2008 crash wiped out a lot of my assets and future income I could never understand why so many people lost their life savings, I had all my assets in stocks when it turned in 2008, but kept it invested and just bought more. My returns have more than doubled since then... "The only way you get hurt on a roller coaster is if you jump off..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
