This was under Pence when Sales Force, Angies List. and other fortune 500 companies basically picked up and discontinued business in the state...I recall being in Indiana at a gas station and seeing public signage that they were not accepting business from LGBTQ...there were stickers on the f*ing gas pumps...I went inside and started a fight with 8 hillbillies in the gas station diner...I should probably get over this, it was in 2015...they walked back the laws to some degree...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Freedom_Restoration_Act_(Indiana)When you look at the national rankings of LGBTQ states there are only a handful that are doing well with the integration...Columbus is unique in the state of Ohio...it tends to be a gay-friendly city with a very large and supported gay community...Columbus has the 2nd largest Pride March in the US...it draws 800,000 people to the city

I reached my "financial independence" number many years ago.However, I am still full pedal on the gas at my day job -- I'm a Senior Manager for Fortune 100 internet companies which I'm very proud of, particularly for a woman in this industry and enjoy.I'm in my mid 40s so it's early, but I made all this money to retire so want to start doing that.But I'm scared and really want to talk to some people who have actually retired off of their real estate wealth to get a sense of how it works out -- 10, 20, 30, 40 years out.I'd love to hear your situation and share my own situation in the hopes of getting a sense of how this could actually work in practicality years out.
