Excellent! I'll be joining you next Dec. Hope to buy a cabin closer to Moab and spend a lot of time living the dream. I should have bought property in Moab back when I first started going there - now it's out of reach...

It was a long wait, but finally joined the club on 12/9.
Beautiful pics, Jim!Did Dry Fork Canyon today. Wife loved it.
Thank you for sharing your trip to Dry Fork Canyon with us!
I was lucky, bought my house in 2020, and I thought it was too expensive then. Now it is crazy.

Back in the early 90s, I had a friend who owned a really nice house built into a rock on the east side of town. It was beautiful, about 2500 Sq ft. He had to sell and if I remember correctly, it sold for under $300k - probably worth a couple mil today. Then they passed a law or ordinance preventing any more homes being built in rocks, making it all that more unique and valuable.
Also, if you remember Lower Helldorado trail, that land sold for really cheap. If only we had crystal balls...
I made a mistake on this house, normally I buy high and sell low, apparently I screwed up this time. But I am not ready to sell, so there is still time.

Saving makes sense, but I'd recommend having fun early. The golden years thing is sketchy, I know too many people having health and other issues, they should have lived large having adventures earlier in life. In particular I'm so glad we spent earlier in life on trips around the world (on a reasonable budget), instead of waiting until I'm an old man.
I realized that I did not state the original comment correctly. I have had a tremendous amount of fun throughout my life. Travel, boats, motorcycles and fun vehicles. I also didn't save early in life, but I always worked hard, and did my best to make money to have fun. I was lucky to have good jobs which allowed me to save later in life to complete my goals. I do agree that some people scrimp all their life and then when they retire, they have a tough time spending and many times health issues get in the way. Make every moment count. My 2 cents.

Same here - you can do both. Correct decisions early in life make it possible.
