re: Anyone retire early early?

Posted by Theduckhunter on 5/11/24 at 9:31 am
What are your hobbies now? Are you married? Have kids? If you’re not passionate about multiple hobbies now, you probably won’t find fulfillment trying to do them full time in retirement. I know I wouldn’t have a problem retiring that early, but I can see why others do. ...
How long do you have before you plan to retire? Are your 401k contributions traditional or Roth? If it’s still a while, backdoor roth may be the way to go. Also, depending on how your 401k is set up, your plan may allow you to make after tax contributions and roll those into a Roth IRA (mega...
Sounds like it’s time to start putting in for preference points. ...

[quote]And if someone breaks in your house, do you blame yourself?[/quote] Your house is less likely to be broken into than your car. People need to understand that the people breaking into cars are pretty much looking for one thing… guns. It’s the easiest way for them to get a gun. It’s not hard...
We always had a separate checking for bills and one for spending. I got a chase freedom 1.5% cash back on all purchases, 3% on dining and we use it for the spending account. Paid off every month. We have a “budget” we want to stay under so it makes our spending habits clear each month. I als...

What don’t you like about the boat you have? What’s wrong with a bass boat in saltwater? I don’t know much about bass boats, which is why I ask. If it were me, I’d want an xpress, but I fish mostly saltwater, but I’d use it in fresh quite a bit as well. ...
[quote]We've had multiple presidents who were assassinated or who died while in office[/quote] I think being on a list of only 4 presidents to be assassinated, makes you pretty unforgettable. Not to mention, you couldn’t forget his name learning about him as a kid, due to Garfield the cat :lol: ...
I understand that… but considering most of the members here probably aren’t hunting in Florida very often, I figured they might be willing to share which pieces of public are worth looking into. I know it’s going to be a ground game when you get there. I’m also sure there’s info online to resear...
Anyone got any advice on potential public areas to research? ...

[quote]It's dumb to leave a gun in your car to be stolen no matter what you pay for it.[/quote] Absolutely. If you’re strapped for cash, you should get a cheaper gun so you can afford to put a more secure lock box in there to keep it in. It’s still not the best idea, depending on where you us...
[quote]Yeah the first hunting season with an infant hit here too[/quote] Same here. He must be a good luck charm though. Limited out in MS and killed one in LA as well. ...
My dogs do a pretty good job of keeping them from getting too comfortable. ...
Good luck! We had a great season this year, and I was lucky enough to get to make a couple of decent trips up there. ...
I have the spot on as well and it’s great. Fortunately I only need it for one dog. My other dog sticks around. Pricing it out, 1 gps collar was not much more than doing a fence for 7 acres… but economically, for 2 dogs, an underground wired fence would be better. Both of them require proper training...
