I plan to retire in 7 years (52 years old then).
My wife and I have $600k equity in the house and quite a bit more than that in stocks, 401k, saving etc.
I'm thinking we'll move to Idaho falls and buy a really nice big house on a lot with water for $275k. I'll get a part-time job (no more than 20 hrs per week which is 1/3 of what I work now) as a handyman or something like that. It has to be fun, keep my mind busy, but something that doesn't require deep thought or stress. Just enough to cover my spending money and maybe buy lunches or pay for a round of golf every week, that's all I need.

The only fly in that ointment is my daughter will be in college at that time and my son will be close behind. Depending on where they want to go might mean i have to work until I'm 57 or so. My daughter was already talking about Bezerkeley but I just about have her talked out of that liberal a$$ brain-washing hell, now it's USC which aint cheep.
I'm hoping her grades and athletics will help some with a partial scholarship or something.
