ParticipantMy wife and I are “Boomers” of 50, and have lots of friends all over the county who are also in the same age group. Few seem to be talking about downsizing.
Most of our “Boomer” friends in RSF (where we live), seem to be planning, as we are, to hand things over to the kids and grandkids.
From what we’re hearing, this seems to be holding true for lots of the families we know who have been in San Diego most of their lives.

ParticipantIt definitely seems that you and your husband are on the right track in many ways, but I would definitely try to refinance to a better mortgage rate, if at all possible.
Even with writeoffs, at that interest rate, that’s still a lot of money just evaporating every month.Also, do continue down your path of saving and investing everything you possibly can.
Twenty years ago, several of my friends and I believed we had life all figured out. We were making lots of money at a young age, had great marriages and kids, and planned to have all of our debts paid off and a seven+ figure net worth by the time we were 50 or younger.Now that the midnight hour is fast approaching, only two of us have reached those goals. Why? Life happened. A few people lost their jobs, had major health issues and expenditures, family problems etc., etc., etc.
Enjoy your life today–relish your good fortune and hard work–but hang on to everything you have been blessed with in this moment, because it may, or may not last for the rest of your life.

ParticipantWe used to live in Carmel Valley, and now have a few rentals there. We can’t believe how much the area has changed over the years.
Sadly, if something drastic isn’t done soon, this type of activity will, no doubt, increase in every area–especially when many of the kids in San Diego, and California in general, realize they may never be able to afford to live here after leaving Mom & Dad’s little nest!

ParticipantThis is a great thread, and fantastic comments! I have often wondered when this “transition to reality” would occur.
Like other posters, both my wife’s and my family had parents who saved small fortunes, had great homes, no debt, and lived the lives they wanted to live.
By following their examples we were able to do the same. For us, living the lives we want to live, without financial concern, is true wealth.
