Back home and back to work. My mind has been in vacation/retirement mode so much, coming into work was rough. Back to dreaming. I have 9+ years to go, but I do wonder if there is some kind of interim possibility. My wife talked about buying land of where we definitely would want to stay. Thus she could design the house exactly as desired. It would give us time to pay off the land.
I dunno... sounds risky. I think it would be better to invest the money, build wealth. Buying something so far in advance is just scary.
