The Guide To Living Cheap…Frugal And Fun Retirement
The guide to living cheap does not mean sacrifice. If you think you do not have enough money to retire…stop a minute. Here are four different lifestyles which has kept the writer and wife retired for 15 years. They are not only cheap they are fun as well…you can do this too.
1) Our favorite and most adventurous frugal lifestyle was living on a sailboat…we enjoyed sailboat cruising in the Caribbean for eight wonderful years. It was not only fun we only spent around a $1,000 a month once in the islands. Why that cheap? Anchoring is free…no cash registers in sight…and the view was better than people paying $600 a night in a fancy resort 100 yards from our boat.
2) Full time RV is a great frugal retirement lifestyle. If you enjoy traveling without the hassle of packing and unpacking, give it a try. Monthly rent was around $450…pretty cheap including utilities. We used the RV as a means of finding a permanent retirement home. You can enjoy this fun, frugal retirement lifestyle too.
3) Live overseas…we spent eight years in foreign countries. They are cheap, fun, interesting and safe. For instance one million Americans live in Mexico. For $1500 to $2000 a month you can live very well. Health insurance, many of their doctors trained in the US, is #270 a year. Ladies the above budget includes a maid. You are three times more likely to a victim of violent crime in the US vs Mexico.
4) Downsizing…if you think there is no way you could go from a big house to a condo or RV…I beg to differ. We moved from a 1800 square foot home to a 35 sailboat with curved walls. You quickly find that you need very little to live and live well. Do not let your \”stuff\” prevent you from retiring.
Yes you can still retire. We have done so for 15 years…having fun with no regrets. You can too…armed with the right information. You need the guide to living cheap. Interested?
