| #16 Muchos Gracias to all. Of course the ONE problem is the Grandma effect. How far from the Grandkids can I persuade the Grandma to go?? 8^) |

| #15 Costa Rica is nice, but it's still expensive if you want american-style amenities. If you're willing to rough it, the South Pacific coast or inland is still cheep. However, living in the a small US city (away from the coasts) is still the best value for your dollar. For example, the same home in Miami Beach costs 1/10 as much if you build it in Iowa, Nebraska, or southern Utah. Other living expenses are reduced also. And you don't have to worry about different laws etc. Al |

| #14 This guy will go Galt if Obama is re-elected. He is a hard-nosed guy who means what he says. |

| #13 Rural Nevada. We're not very friendly or particularly attractive, but we're heavily armed, protective of our own, and it's *extremely* cheap to live out here. |

| #10 I suggest Alabama, lots of land and friendly folks North of Montgomery in the lakes region. You can make a reasonable "Bolt hole" here. |

| #9 Any ideas on where to go with a moderate (x<1 meg) size stake? A couple people I know that retired, and have seen good stories and reports of it, is going to Costa Rica. Friendly to anglo types, cheap and decent standard of living. You can retire with 100k and live like a well off man for decades. |

| #6 I've actually spoken to my wife about this kind of thing. I got retired early 2.5 years ago and can't get a job that I want. Since I planned pretty well we're doing Ok but I've started thinking about a bolt hole if Zero cheats his way to a win. Any ideas on where to go with a moderate (x<1 meg) size stake? |

| #3 The self made people can be some of the most beautiful independent rascals you could ever hope to meet. The buck stops here. They never stop. they can lose millions and make millions. Look at how many people Romney has helped and continues to do. Outstanding example for others to see. You don't hear about it because only the government is supposed to do that. |

| #2 He's the boss of a private company. He can say or do just about whatever he wants. |

| #1 The headline reads "CEO threatens to fire employees if Obama is re-elected" I didn't see that. He only said he would retire to a beach with no employees to worry about. Seems a bit of a leftist spin on it, IMHO. Personally, I can't blame him for saying he will leave if teh 0ne is re-elected. |
