Sep 17, 2021, 8:18 AM

what you plan on doing.

I got 18 more years.

Plan on moving to a small cabin above Ashville drinking, hunting, and #######.

I can retire here, move up there. Work 10 years and get both SC and NC retirement

That's the biggie with "retirement" - we assume we will not run into any major health issues and will make it to that time/age in the future.

The BETTER plan is to get rich to the point your passive income is greater than your burn. Then you work if you want to, not because you have to.

I'd love to reach that goal within the next 10 years.

If you enjoy what you do, you shouldn't ever want to stop doing it, especially if you get paid to do it. Sometimes retirement (lack of responsibility and purpose) is a premature death sentence, so be careful there.

However, I doubt I'll completely hang it all up because I really enjoy working and will probably still work as a consultant in some areas. I'd like to write more.

Ideally, my wife and I would like to buy a house directly on the beach (but also not have it fall into the ocean). We actually feel good about this being an attainable goal. We may prefer to move to a smaller beach community like Edisto or Pawleys instead of IOP or Sullivan's.

And I plan to still drink a lot and go on stupid golf cart cruises.

I've got a buddy who is a pilot.


Sep 17, 2021, 11:43 AM

He retired as a Major from the USAF reserves--had thousands of hours as C-141/C-17 pilot. He just turned 60. He flies for American Airlines now, and specifically has stayed as an aircraft commander (2nd in command) because he had seniority, and was flying to the Caribbean 4 days a week, or when he felt like it. He made his own schedule.

Then for some reason I don't understand, he went to Captains school last month, and is now a low seniority Captain flying terrible flights to Detroit, Las Vegas and other places I wouldn't want to go, on weekends and nights. He was probably making close to $225k-$250/year and had been for the last decade. Now, as captain, he said he'll make close to $300k/year-$325/year.

He is single, never been married, and has invested well. He has about $6 million liquid and in stocks, plus his USAF pension that starts at 62. He will also collect SS, and then at mandatory retirement of 65 from AA, he'll get a pretty hefty pension from them.

Last Macrh, He sold his new 25', twin engine center console for a ton less than he paid for it, and then sold his paid for house on IOP for $1.3m. After fees, taxes, and all the other stuff, he pocketed about $900k from the house. He had started dating a girl he went to high school with who was an admin asst at a Dr's office, and lives in Alpharetta now in her 1 BR apt with her.

He said he plans on buying a house on Lake Lanier, but the prices are scaring him off. I don't understand any of it. We've talked for hours about his plans, but none of them make any sense to me. I would never have gone to Captain school, lost my choice flying routes, and would have retired 5 years ago if I was him, enjoyed my IOP house until I couldn't anymore, then figure it out from there. I mean he certainly won't be going broke any time soon.
