I moved to Prescott, Arizona, and while the weather is amazing, I underestimated how much I’d need to invest to maintain my lifestyle. Inflation has been a real wake-up call, and now I’m trying to grow my portfolio fast but wisely

One problem a lot of retirees face is parking their savings in low-return investments or just relying on Social Security. I’ve seen people run out of money within 10-15 years. It’s critical to focus on diversifying your portfolio, even if you're nearing retirement

Agreed, I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $3.4m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date

The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

People need to consider deeded RV lots. You don't want to put your mobile home in a park where you pay rent, only to see the park bought out by a corporation that jacks up the rent. And a mobile home isn't really mobile without incurring a lot of expense.

Yuma, Bullhead city, anywhere in that low elevation western part of the state is crazy hot in the summer. Anywhere above 4000 feet is relatively comfortable, and that would be most of the state. I love Arizona, retired here near Portal in the SE corner at about 4,500 feet. It's nice. Don't even consider retiring here until you look at the elevation and summer temps.

I'm 59. The best advice I give people is to do a lot of research. Look up the summer and winter temps. See how much snow falls in a certain area. Then start looking at properties in those counties. Look up the property taxes on the listings. Look up if there is an HOA or not. See if there is a monthly road maintenance charge. How close is town and so on. I bought a 2.5 acre property in Snowflake 3 years ago. It had an old mobile home on it. I'm almost done rebuilding the mobile home. I will start working part time once the mobile is done. I will let friends park their rv's and travel travels on it.

Kingman, AZ population is close to 35,000 but the city limits don't include a lot of the city. as it extends north so it's more than 35K. I don't suggest anyone move there as the city has a lot of poverty and an overwhelming sense of depression encompasses the people there. The city is losing retailers and the growth is mostly in track homes that appease Californian investors.

About a year ago I sold our home in the Phoenix area and purchased a home on acreage outside of Snowflake. The sale of my old home easily paid for our new home. It's quiet, the weather is decent, the people are all friendly, and we've got friggen seasons (something that Phoenix sadly lacks)! We looked at homes around Prescott Valley but the costs there have exploded in recent years thanks to the influx of Commiefornians. Snowflake is most definitely a small town with a population of 7,000 people. It's situated about 20 minutes from Show Low and 30 minutes from Holbrook. Flagstaff, Payson, and Gallup NM are about 2 hours away. Phoenix is closer to 3 1/2 hours away. 30 years ago I lived just outside of Yuma in the Foothills and worked at the Yuma Proving Ground. Best part of living in Yuma back then was the ability to pop across the border for lunch, and on those rare occasions when I needed cost effective items from the Mexican pharmacies. There is a golf course in the Foothills called Mesa Del Sol. The running joke back then about playing that course was to NEVER follow your golf ball out of bounds. Just take a drop and play through. The area had more than it's share of rattlesnakes and other critters.

All home prices in Kingman have doubled in the last couple years. There are so many people leaving CA and coming to Kingman. These people sold their homes in CA for big bucks and they can come to Kingman and buy a new home with cash. It's driven up the prices.

My dad lived in Bullhead. You get bored staying indoors but at least it's cool. Then you have to go outdoors and that lasts about ten minutes, then back indoors. Lake Mojave is unusable during the summer because the the Los Angeles people crowd up the beaches and launch ramps. It teaches you to become an alcoholic because that's just about the only way you can cope with the place. He was the only person on his street that actually *lived* in his house. The others were unoccupied because people who bought them realized how hot it got there. They had my father keep an eye on their houses. When he died, they bought burglar alarms.

Having lived in Arizona for 50 years, knowing what it was like in the 60's to what it is now, I can honestly say 'happiness was Arizona in my rear view mirror'. I can never afford to live in Arizona anymore. I wonder whose budget he is living on. After the California wild fires, watch out Arizona!

Yuma? The devil's frying. I recall the morning I drove into it before noon and it was 108 F., not for me. Tucson, yes, lived there. Also, there are many places up north that are not desert but mountainous and full of trees, cool places that most people are unaware of.
