All I can say Steve is don't wait. I know you have to wait for Sue to retire, but maybe she will read this.

In May of 2016 the financial planner says to me and my wife. "If you just want to maintain your standard of living, you can retire now and you will never run out of money". This blew me away. Well I knew we were doing pretty good saving wise and investments, but not that good. We live pretty well so I am good with keeping our style of living.

So I went to 2 other financial planners to verify what our guy said. All said the same thing. My wife and I look at each other and say fuck it we are done. I retired last July at age 49 and my wife left at age 52 in October.

We knew when we retired we wanted to travel the country in our motor home, so we started planning that. We left January 7, 2017.

I can't tell you how much we love it. The moving around and see this great country. Meeting new people. Unbelievable how friendly the south is. We are in the pacific north west now. We are in Oregon now and going to explore Oregon, Idaho, South Dakota, Montana and Washington until October. Then we plan to see Utah on our way back down to San Diego for the holidays. Then we will hit the road again and go south for the winter.

My point is life is short. Go do it. We have changed up our travel plans a few times on this trip. (We were supposed to be in Cape Cod right now). Things change and we just go with the flow.
