Some of these people's statements in here about 3 million minimum or 5 million are so unrealistic. Obviously they have an unrealistic idea of wants vs needs.
This is such a cool Plan B.

But as you say your wife doesn't like this plan. And you're plan depends on your back, knees, ankles not giving out.

Plus you and wife not slipping on the ice and breaking a hip. Plus your wife unhappy in MN living through 8 months of winter.

I'm from Wisconsin and Minnesota. Lets' not kid ourselves.
