I’d appreciate any feedback...In general my retirement plan is to sequentially buy homes on a 24 month cycle for myself, my son and his wife and and my daughter.

Are the applicants working, a two job family or are they retired, look to the expected life style and the cost.

Hi all,I have a decent amount of money saved in my retirement.

Buying me a great retirement.

You do not have to become a believer in modern portfolio theory (I am not) but you are not educated if you don’t know it exists and how influential it has become - its tenets (not tenants) literally percolate through much of what you see written in the popular press about investing, retirement strategies, diversification, etc.Statistics - A one semester or one quarter course in statistics will serve you very well all your life, and open your eyes to a deeper understanding of probability and risk.Accounting - You really do need to have a conceptual understanding of what balance sheets, cash flow statements and profit and loss means.

Watching is not going to get you a retirement income 10 years from now!

He retired at 30 by saving like crazy.

Yes, I rent but buying and selling is the game.I will take the 12-15% returns when I am ready to completely retire. 

(For reference ~ I invest heavily in Total Market Vanguard Funds, and I believe last year I was right under 13%)  Average safe withdrawal in retirement is roughly 4% (Adjusted for inflation).
