Just curious. Can you get along with Social Security and Medicare?
We live in an older mobile home .. bought outright
We live on 2.25 acres .. bought outright
The kids are gone
Got a 99 Subaru and a 2000 F150 ... bought outright and pray nothing happens
(Just replaced flex plate and starter on the 150 ... 750.00 inc labor ... a steal ... set me back a month)
EVERYthing's doable depending on how you live ... your physical plant, so to speak.
The biggest thing is get rid of the mortgage
I'd live in a tent in the desert if it was the only way to not borrow money from a bank/institution.
