    A nice property on Lake Van! Take a boat out to go to liturgy at Aktamar!
    Backup plan(s): Undecided, either Kotayk and have access to all that delicious tasty Kotayk--or live somewhere else and enjoy Kilikia, Kotayk and Erebuni without raising eyebrows and fists--, Kekharkunik with some nice Sevan lakeside property, move back to the family land in Ararat or the countryside of Syunik.

    It's never to early to think, men.

    After all we need some goal at the end... a heroic victory (don't take it literally). But it's best to think, develop your ideas, and act on them.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I met this guy once, Mitchell S, one of America's finest. I met him in 2000. He was my supervisor at work. We went out for lunch and I ordered the 7.5 Euro meal of the day, and no drinks. He asked me why I was ordering that and no drinks. I answered that I eat to live, & not live to eat, plus there's free water back at the workplace, on top of that I'm on a budget. Intrigued, he asked me more I told him I'm on a budget and I hope one day to travel the world and see all different cultures. Next day he asked to see my budget, I showed him, had it on my work PC via email. Since then he moved on, went back to the States, after his deputation in Europe, but he still pops me the occasional email saying thanks for that day, because now I did this.... and this, thanks to you. HAHA ! I'm laughing because before that he did'nt even have a budget.

    I was 24-25 then IIRC, it's never too early really. You can have fun and save. The sooner you do, the sooner you can realize a future that, when you are there, you won't believe you really are there.

    I think it depends if I'm tired of city life by the time I retire. If I'm not, I'd like to stay in London. If I am, perhaps a nice bit of Kent, maybe somewhere on the south coast. Or somewhere abroad, cool and with nice forests. Although I think I would miss Britain a lot. In fact, scratch that last, I don't think I could be an expat.

    I would have loved to retire in either the US or Australia.
    The way our economy is developing I could have lived well in either.
    The question would be; Hot or temperate? Brisbane my second home, would probably get too hot for an old man. But hey, I could come home to Norway and celebrate Christmas with my kids and grandkids.

    The reality is, it would only be a dream.
