Let's play a game. You can retire anywhere, in any fashion. You don't have to worry about money.
Where do you retire and what does your ideal retirement home look like?
Me? A beautifully outfitted Beneteau Swift Trawler.
@Cosmichomicide I have multiple homes, some in more temperant areas, some in snow. Definitely a penthouse or brownstone in Manhattan.
A DC or Manhattan brownstone is also high on my list. Or a Vancouver condo.
Walkable neighborhoods. ❤️
@Cosmichomicide Gotta have private planes to take us around, all amenities event location so we don't have to pack. Real Taylor Swift stuff.
@Cosmichomicide *every location
To truly fulfil my fantasy - private train cars.
You can literally hook up to Amtrak!
Fine, I also grew up on Wild Wild West reruns and will never forgive them for screwing up a freaking movie with Kenneth Branaugh and Will Smith. I broke a personal rule about spending money in Dallas to be traumatized in the theater, FFS.
Music was fun, tho. 🤷
I loved Jim West and Artemis Gordon. 🚂
@Cosmichomicide Now this is great
I might have had that link on hand because if I win the lottery, I'm buying an old rail car, restoring it to its full glory and seeing everything in the US and Canada by rail.
Please insert game changing donation to my local cage free cat sanctuary and a bench at the zoo as well.
But the rail car. Always love the idea of a private rail car.
@Cosmichomicide This would be AWESOME.
You know those crazy castles by the water that some friend on Insta — or sometimes even here 🤣 — will always post too often? (I usually say “Town or septic” to get ‘em riled up.)
A crazy castle by the sea sounds good to me, town or septic (this presupposes modern plumbing, of course 🤓). With dehumidifiers and AC and not too far away from a city with an airport. In a country with national health care. And a pony, while I’m at it. 😂
See below if necessary 😏 —
Money is no object. The pony is yours! And yeah, I dig those too.
@Cosmichomicide I'd say the 18th arrondisement of Paris, but what I really want is an entire island in the Orkneys to myself -- plus a boat to go to the mainland when I wish, since no one is allowed on my island but me. (Spoiler: Very little time will be spent aboard boat.)
This is also a fantasy. While I love the water and really love the bigger boats and the deeper water... the male Cosmics, not so much. ⛴️
Yes, I fucking loved Quincy, ME. Sue me.
At least I'm not looking at Cabot Cove. ☠️
