In 1992, I was medically discharged from the Military after 8 years and the VA gave me 100% disability. I voluntarily chose 60% so I could continue to work in the civilian sector. I took my monthly checks since 1993 and invested them in various things (401K and mutual funds, etc..) and did fairly well and I am planning on financially retiring next year (Fall 2007). I want to make sure I don't have to go back to work. Can anyone give me things to consider so that I am not jumping the gun too soon. I have enough to live comforatbly and think I have considered factors such as cost of living, medical insurance, etc... I just wonder if anyone else has done this brave move and realized they had not thought of a future expense. I inherited a house, so my mortgage is paid, and I can handle the property taxes. Also, can I still collect S.S.? (Providing it still exisits when I'm 65)?

Thanks

They have jobs where they make good money for a college students, but we have just enough money to get by and pay bills (we're both going to med and phar. school, so we don't work a lot because our classes are so hard.) (They are art majors) We buy a lot of groceries and have noticed that, they have not bought any real food since August, when we moved in. I think between the both of us that we have spent close to 1,000 dollars over this three month period. We lived without them by ourselves before and maybe spent thirty dollars ($400.00 over 2-3 months) a week on food for the house. I think this is nuts, but I don't know how to approach them without making them mad. Help me

Do you think its ok to stop work for some years. My wife like to work and her income is enough for pay everything.
Before - in a period of 12 years, it was me working and her staying home, so don't you think its fair that its my time now.

My wife and I are 34 and have had a lot of personal success. We would like to stop working if we don't have to. What tools would you use to decide? I am curious what dollar amount would make someone feel comfortable retiring at 40.

I'm in my mid thirties. Embarrassingly, I have no savings, and I currently have $45K in credit card, line of credit, and other debts (plus my condo mortgage). Even more embarrassing, I actually make a fairly decent salary. Obviously I need to get help to learn how to budget. I'd like to start things off on the right foot and invest this lump sum wisely.

Should I pay down some of my debts? Or should I stick this in an RRSP to avoid paying taxes? Or should I use it as a down payment on a small condo in my building and rent it out to pay the mortgage?

Probably the best bet is to sit down with a financial consultant. But if anyone has ideas in the meantime, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much!!
