What are your retirement plans?

[slow99]

I'm gonna post here in a few years and ask dfwm's advice - that shit is priceless.

A guy I worked with has a good plan. He just retired, but before that he got his captain license and his wife has dual citizenship in Panama. So they moved down there and he opened up a fishing charter that caters to Americans. He says it's awesome.

Not setting anything aside. I'll just be a Walmart greeter when I'm old.

Walmart doesn't have greeters anymore. Do you have a plan B? LOL

Costco or Sam's

My beef with 401k plans is that the contribution caps are way too fucking low.

For some reason I just imagined Jared standing up in a cube, yelling "FUCK!" and throwing a stapler against a wall.

They need a good garden guy at the walmart in Gunnison - non super center too!

I'm not baller enough to have that problem. LOL

My problem is that 401k's will be nationalized and treated like social security, limiting the amount that individuals can withdraw.

I have a roth IRA account and something similar to 401k here called Profuturo. My wife has 401k. We only have one child so once he's off to college we'll eventually sale the house in north Texas and live here on the beach.

I'm banking on my 1980's collection of baseball cards to increase in value.

seriously, we've been paying off debt, with hopes to start paying down our house quick. If I can't retire early, then my hopes are to train myself to continue living debt free.

Funny thing is I still have the habit of checking the mail, looking for certain monthly bills that I've paid off earlier this year.

I always said that Paul Molitor was underrated.

Buy a house on PK by 40, have it paid off by 55 and move there full time whenever I decide to retire. Spend the rest of my day fishing, out running young kids with my hot rod boat and drinking beer.

Apple has been pretty good to me, bought in '04 at under $40, got a nice split the following year, sold half this year when it topped $600, put that in my Roth. Holding on to the other half for a little while longer. That, along with the 401k and pension plan here at work, plus whatever is left of SS by then (about 15 years away). The house will paid for in 5 years, will be remarried in a month, and her salary is pretty much all going into savings, and we'll have her 401k and SS. Also have a mountain cabin in NC if we decide to get away from the city. We should be ok.
