I don’t know the answer exact number. I guess it boils down to what purpose do you want to fulfill. If nothing means enough to you, then the dollar amount needed to play golf / travel is pretty low; but if you have something you’re passionate about that requires work, then maybe there is no dollar amount to take it away.
My personal idea is seeing my kids launch and have grandkids and being able to get up and go do something with them.

I don’t think you can appreciate health enough. My son had some friends who are some of the richest family around, but they are often at a doctor or at home sick and unable to enjoy high school activities or just days.
I would chose health over wealth every time. But I still need a little to live on, so I don’t want to be healthy and flat broke lol.

47 now with about $350K in 401(k). Initial plan was to work to 67 and the 401(k) should theoretically be about $3MM.
A couple other factors will probably cut that work short, but I like working so maybe I’ll make it to 67. Just may play golf a lot more while I piddle at the office.
My wife will inherit low 8 figures probably sooner rather than later and my brokerage account will help too. Also diversifying into Kansas farmland, so we’ll see how it all goes and turns out.
I love to insight this board gives and the real stories (successes and failures). Keep it up!

Bullish. Will continue to acquire weekly at any price under $60.

12 hours. Got the internal temp down to 165, then wrapped in saran wrap and aluminum foil, and placed back on smoker at 170 degrees. It was a very good cut of meat, so I need to try this technique on a normal prime brisket to see if it will be just as good. I was very impressed with the result.
Converted some long term gains in NBIS into 160 acres of crop and pasture land in Kansas earlier this year. Will look to increase some income producing (but not housing related) real estate holdings in the coming years. Still 20 years from retirement, but starting to execute my plan.
Yep. At $15.91. Will give it some time.

Thanks for the individual thread bb. I’m in for a small amount and will be looking to add to the position over the next year.
re: Patrick Mahomes has a torn ACL.
Posted by LP2OP on 12/14/25 at 9:22 pm to Roll Tide Ravens
Normally I hate to see guys injured, but not so much this time. The way Goodell and the league protected and marketed Mahomes was nauseating. And the Chiefs being eliminated from the playoffs at the same time is just icing on the cake.
That being said, I hope he has a good recovery and can play a few more years at a high level without the assisted success he’s had up til now.

You’re right - water is something we take for granted in the south and especially Louisiana where a lot of places if you can get to the sand bed and stick a pipe in it, water will flow above the surface.
I wish I knew more about the legal issues of water rights in these northern areas and what the balance is between making those as strong as possible now and visiting that property a couple of times a year to hunt and/or just check on things. Also the balance between keeping it for “forever” or selling it off when it appreciates at some point sooner.

Yep, water will end up being the newest “mineral” or something similar that the law will provide special privileges and rules for.
What kind of investments do you have? Any recreational or farm land? Or anything off-grid?
re: Mountain West and Upper Great Plains

Right, I would leave it alone in the winter. Utilities are what they are, but water rights are something that I would be concerned about.
Also, it seems like there may be some cattle grazing rights on these big ranches that are getting carved up and sold in smaller tracts.
Conservation easements are familiar because we have them down here.

Any thoughts on, or experience in, investing in farm or recreational land in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, or Western Nebraska?
I’ve recently become infatuated with the topography and characteristics of this region and have been doing a lot of research on price and location. The prices seem to be significantly cheaper than acreage in the south and Midwest.
Other than being so far away from the property so personal use will be limited (especially if it’s a recreation tract), what are other cons to investing in that part of the country?

re: META buying opportunity?
Posted by LP2OP on 10/30/25 at 8:40 pm to FLObserver
Yep me too. Took profits in UNH and bought META at $664. We’ll see!
Zero. I’ve been all over the pin numerous times, but nothing goes in. Maybe one day.
Have holed out for eagle at Oak Knoll in Hammond from 150 on #5 and from 85 on #7. Also almost got the first ace on #16 at Mystic Creek a few years ago but it was about 3 inches right.

Same here. 69 with 5 birdies and 2 bogeys. Never have shot 70 or 71. It was a magical day at LSU in the early 2000s.
Played 9 yesterday and got beat by my 17 and 8 year old sons!! Lol

What a disaster. Same idiots who planned the opening ceremony of the last Olympics must be involved here. The NFL used to be a lot of what was good in America, now it’s doing everything it can to be everything but American. Geez.
