The only thing really costing us money is my terrible poker play. 2013 was my first losing year in four years, and 2014 has been a bad start. I spent the day walking around Goodland Florida which is basically the furthest south on the west coast of Florida and has the famous Stan's bar. No fancy pants stuff in Goodland......just fishing and a 1000 islands.....they closed the local airport near marco because of those damn imported pythons which were laying on the runway. I may be gone soon, or I may live three years, but you do not have to spend money to find warm weather and friends.

My wife and I are selling our big place in Molino as it is way too much work to keep up. The kids are out and most of our animals are gone. Once it is sold we are going to find something kinda closer to town that will still give us room to do our dog training thing but wont take me 6 hrs to get the grass cut. The wife is going to continue to work part time so I may take a job resupplying ATM machines for a local bank. supposed to be a fairly good gig and good pay. Financial wise I should be good between my fire pension and DROP money and a fairly good chunk that I managed to squirrel away into T Rowe price over the years. Couple of questions. Should my wife and I continue to work until we are eligible for medicare? Should we both do part time work so that we can still do some traveling while our health is good? I'd love to hear some advice from some of you retired folks.

We are doing a friend stay trip and hotels this winter, but this spring we will be taking a cross country camping trip and the Prius is one big generator and the modern camping equipment and wireless you can have the comforts of home with 47 miles per gallon affordable travel.
It is incredibly inefficient to pull an rv or use a motorized coach unless you are going to stay long term, and if that is the case get a park model and park it and drive the prius to the site.
