I am 53. I have degrees in Electronics and Information Technology. I have 30 years experience with different systems, with good skills in Windows, Linux.UNIX, Cisco networking, CITRIX, VMWARE, hardware, Telecommunications, etc. I am also very good with cars especially VW. My Spanish is minimal. My wife is a native Spanish speaker with excellent English. She is an Administrative Assistant for a top University Medical center and has experience in banking. My hope would be to achieve a new, quieter lifestyle at a slower pace and continue to work for another 15-20 years. We could afford to buy a $150,000 or so house, we would load up a container with stuff. In 1.5 years I will be eligible for about a $500/month retirement. At some point we would both be eligible for SS, but again we would both plan to continue working. Could we realistically move to MV, secure similar type work, buy a house, and live a safe comfortable life? We are not seeking the high life, just a calmer, normal existence. Is this realistically achievable? Many thanks for any input.
