I guess I should introduce myself. I am a Dutchman, a Veteran and am looking to retire in 2016. I came from the class of 2020 when I thought I would not be able to retire until then. I am still working full time and vacation as much as possible.
The DW and I live fulltime in our new to us 2001 Dutchmen ES33 5th wheel. Although it needs some work, we already love the extra room it gives us with the 2 rear slides. We pull it with our, again, new to us 1998 Chevy dually 6.5TB diesel.
We have turned our home over to our DD, her husband and 3 children. They needed the extra room and it gives them a good start in life. They will have it paid off many years prior to their retirement with many years left to enjoy. It took us a while to downsize, about a year, but we did it. Looking back, I don't know why we had such a big place and so much stuff. Most we never looked at or used. I guess that is the American dream.
So much for me, now it's your turn. What are your plans to make it to retirement and live as a fulltimer.
