still though, if I were pressed to live on 750k for life, cycling or not, the USA would be one of the last places id consider doing this. so many better places to be with the dollar stretching so much further.
interesting comments... i am of the age where i should be dating 40+ single women but i tend to be attracted to either much younger women or married women closer to my age - and i don't act on the married closer to my age.
i agree that with one poster that people are far too high on what costs will be, assuming OP is ok with foregoing the good life of restaurants, travel, high end women etc.. i wasn't being sarcastic either. many people are happy foregoing those things.
not sure where OP lives as i'm grunching but i saw reference to bobby jones trail which is alabama......... i agree that there are much cheaper places than alabama but now i think those places are pretty obscure. not sure places like costa rica, panama, thailand etc. are that much cheaper. they are way cheaper than LA, NYC etc. but not necessarily alabama.
OP can always work part-time along the way.
and yes, i think OP can live on $750k if housing costs aren't prohibitive and/or investment returns are ok.
