[QUOTE="Lil, post: 700977, member: 17309"] I was wondering, what did you say Alb? Because, I do think that it's a worthwhile goal - if you can afford it. That is to say if you have a fall back in case things go south. It's the planner in me I guess...the person who needs security. It's why I'll never do a lot of things that I think I'd really like to do, but which have serious risk involved. I'm a very security-minded person. It's not that I think I'm soft or incapable of weathering hard times. I'm sure that, worst case scenario, Jabber and I both lost our jobs and had to sell everything and live in a tent on our woodland property, we could. We could build a cabin, rig up a rainwater catch, use an composting toilet, heat with wood, grow a garden and eat a lot of squirrels. (There's actually a part of me that thinks the whole living off the grid thing is very attractive.) But in reality, I'd prefer a comfortable retirement income and a real house...or the ability to go back to that in case of failure. I kind of envy our kids - not worrying about what happens next.
