After reading the retirement thread posted by @soonerfantitanman, I figured I’d ask for advice about retirement planning. I am 38 y/o and for the past coupes of years, I have considered searching for a lot for my future retirement house. I’m pretty set on either the NC or SC coastline. My initial thoughts are that if I buy a lot now, it will reduce initial costs when I retire. If I change my mind or need income for whatever reason, I can sell the lot. I can’t imagine property being cheaper when I retire. Thoughts?
