Can I retire on $500K?

Soon to be ex-wife and I had the last of all our blow-outs. 25 years married, no kids, own the house outright, $1.7 MM (maybe 2), zero debt, 60-something.

Reached out to Cordell Cordell the only law firm I know of that will take care of the man side of things.

soon to be ex-wife does not work.

I just saw this thread scroll past.

I am SO happy that things worked out for the two of you.

You make 80 as IT remote contractor and your picked PR?!

And you bought a 2M house ... in PR?!

That place is one moving, writhing, cesspool of corruption that would rival Haiti if not for the US teat.

Sell, get out, get moving.*

>>You make 80 as IT remote contractor and your picked PR?!<<

Maybe my posts got garbled? I would never accept as little as $80yr - I have lowered by rate and now expect between $160 - $200 but no PM work!

I spent almost a year in PR and it was ghastly. I will be settling in Mexico, somewhere near Porto Morales (wife is from Mexico).
