If you were a wealthy baby boomer where would you put your retirement?

There is a culture trying to keep you on the edge for as long as possible.

Columbus multi-fam housing stock is highly fractured between expensive wealthy suburbs/trendy gentrification areas and urban decay, with very little in between.

I know several very wealthy people and none of them have ever had a car payment.

All the wealthy people I know avoid luxury and new cars like the plague.

Keep in mind that Tesla is selling luxury cars to wealthy people.

When someone with long-time skin in the game talks with others who have skin in the game ("The Wealthy Barber" or BiggerPockets), the source is informed (and credible) and the information is worth my time to investigate further.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealthy_BarberMy barber in Pensacola has been investing for a few years and tells me he owns three homes (I know he recently sold one for a nice profit).

These guys work hard, but are trades first and business people second.Dealing with them, at first, was a bit of a culture shock, coming from a banking and management consulting background.

It seems like the coaching/mentoring industry goes to great lengths to try to prove they are wealthy in order to get other people to believe in them.
