When we retire we’re going somewhere towards the south. Maybe not all the way to Florida or the gulf coast, but somewhere warmer than this Iowa climate. I’ve already made the move from my extended family, so that is not a consideration. The wife wants to go south too as she loves the sun and warmth. School systems won’t matter either as our kids will be done.
Getting the boat last year has really changed my thoughts on the future. We’ll end up on a lake or the coast with the current or bigger boat. I’ve looked into what it takes to get my captains license. My plan is to make a few extra bucks with it in retirement by taking families out for tours, water sports, fishing, or whatever the hell they want to do. Or be a part time charter captain for another private company. It will be something I will enjoy and provides the opportunity to meet new people. Just gotta slug through a few more years of the desk job…..
