Retirement plans recommendations for truckers?

Well, I'm 62 (almost 63 in August). My plan was to have some regular cash saved up (mostly in the bank, some in the house), pay off my mortgage, and pay off all other debt, and a decent sum in a 401k. Also, while I was making money, I was also investing in home improvements, (replacement windows, new appliances, new HVAC system, etc.....).
I worked my plan. My total "all in" monthly bills are around $450 (depending on the utilities).
My wife and I are living comfortably off of social security.

 

I honestly I think the future will be more like the 1990's Russia than 1990's America. Who knows what it's going to be like 20 years from now. My guess is probably not as wealthy and good times as it is now. A piece of land where you can supplement your retirement with hunting and fishing?

 

I'm one of those guys that'll probably croak a month into retirement. I'd like to work part time after 50. 3 days a week would be great.

 

Does anyone know can you buy land, install a septic tank, build a garage/shop, then park a trailer on it? Preferably, two different places you can migrate north and south to follow the warmer weather. Or, you could just stay in trailer parks like the snowbirds do. That might be the less expensive way to do it.

 

Dude, you have about 25 years to figure it out. Start today.

 

Sadly I know retirees who planned it out but now have to work part time.. best advice is buy a remote place with cheap land taxes big city taxes go up and eat a big chunk of your pension..

 

Why not buy a used houseboat and live on it. No property taxes. Fresh fish to eat every day.

 

How about working part time or temporary jobs and taking every winter off?

I know quite a few guys who work the fire season or follow the ag harvest and they do surprisingly well money-wise.

Some of our retirees come back every year and run water tenders on the wildfires. They bank enough off of that to coast through the winter someplace nice.
