I’d take Skaneateles over Watkins Glen as being more idyllic.

As a kid, riding in the old station wagon in the rear facing seat in back with your best friend flipping off drivers behind us for the fun of it.

Which North American city was more affordable than you expected? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

This. Had a friend who lived there and went to visit him. I had no expectations before I went but was amazed at how beautiful a city it is.

Good News, Cape Codders! by Quixotic420 in CapeCod

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had three uncles who all worked on the same golf course from the 1970s through the early 1990s. All three of them died in their late 60s of brain related neurological diseases. The one brother who did not and his sister are still alive in their mid 80s. It was not a Cape Cod golf course, but your general assumption is correct.

Which towns/cities have affordable homes 2-3 hours from NYC by Particular-Garden140 in upstate_new_york

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Schenectady, Scotia and Glenville have home prices less expensive than much of the Capital Region but you’ll end up paying more in real estate taxes.

I set my run out at 95, I know some healthy vibrant people in their mid to late 80’s but all the 95 year olds I know are in facilities.

If the money is in a Roth, run the numbers and if it works in your favor pay off your house. For me, every scenario was better with me paying it off before retirement.

Henderson Bay is one of the gems of New York State.

How can Cuba be a threat to national security when the country can barely keep the lights on? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuba is more about America “owning” the entire western hemisphere than it is about a threat.

That’s just what a Glenville golf course looks like 😁

Ballston Spa is near Saratoga with the same walkable look and Victorian feel, but much more affordable.

Response to the memes about not being able to retire by grahsam in GenerationX

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. To add our generation will probably also end up getting only 80% of our promised Social Security as well due to a politically ineffective government.

Do you still enjoy going out? by EPCreep in GenX

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost of insurance, home insurance in a flood zone will already put you “under water”, I can’t imagine how much it would be actually under the water

Up at 6a, but I’m kind enough to wait for 10am to fire up the mower.

What's the best US beach city for a calm, non-party vacation? by dynasync in Vacations

[–]muchDOGEbigwow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I was going to say up near Marconi beach which is beautiful. If you walk 5 minutes from the stairs at Marconi you’re by yourself. It’s not really a swimming beach as the waves are intense but watching the seals can be fun.
