Thanks, Min!!! It will be a year or two before we buy a place big enough for a giant, but I'm bookmarking this now.

If you've got some spare time you can always volunteer.

I'm not sure I have the time to go to another state to volunteer, but may also look into fostering when we have a big enough place.

My retirement plan certainly requires that I'm smart with money for the rest of my life.

If things go as planned...

I'll have a wife... no kids.

We'll live in a simple home near either the ocean or overlooking a mountainside or something. Something connected to nature but not completely removed from society. We'll get up every morning, cook, have sex, watch tv, play music... whatever. Maybe do some traveling... whatever we can afford.

I don't have a super specific plan... I've thought of living in Norway... Sweden, Denmark... Finland.. Hawaii.. France.. Italy... who knows.

As long as it's with a person I love and we can pretty much do what we like when we like how we like I'm not too concerned about the rest. I'd definitely live in a simple home.. very modern but certainly minimalist to an extent... most homes now days are so crowded it seems.

Music, books, nature, good food and great sex... maybe a nice car or two and a comfortable home. what more can a man ask for?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

For me it really depends on whether I manage to get tenure, which is a realistic goal in 2 years if I don't f up
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I'll be a snowbird and drive an RV with a peace sign on either side. I'll follow the good weather. I'll go to casinos and meet other snowbirds, go to pothead snowbird dinners, and join every meetup I can find. That's it. I really, badly, whole heartedly want to be a snowbird when I retire. It's what I want and what I'm working hard to accomplish.

How about you?

If you want to do that, why don't you just go do it now? I am retired, I live in an RV and follow the good weather in order to rock climb. When I'm retired I'll just do the same thing except I won't work.
