74

My retirement dream may not be for everyone, but it is my dream and one day I'm gonna do it. It's a sort of capital preserving socialism. I sell the family size house I have and I take my other retirement savings and buy myself something modest. With what I have left over I buy small homes, refurbish them, pay my bills - and then rent them out for as little as possible to young families, single mothers especially. I'll just calculate what it costs to maintain the homes, replace fixtures and such, and charge that much. It'll be my own little socialist housing project and I'll still have the capital I began with. I thought about a little luxury flat somewhere, but I can't do that when it means not helping others and making a difference in the lives of kids. That way, when my time comes, I will truly have lived a good life.
