My only regret when I semi retired at 45 , is that I didn't buy a home in Florida at 35. One thing people don't seem to tell you is that 12 years ago home prices did plummet 50% in Florida and only in the last 2 years have they gone up to the original costs or a little more than in 2006-08 .

My son who is 35 has been looking for a house for 3 months and regrets not buying a year ago when it was half the price in his area. If you think you're going to stay healthy then work a few more years and try to put some more money away but you should start taking longer vacations!
