Though if this is a case where a 2 YO Subaru pretty much depreciated next to nothing, take advantage of that and jump to a new one and start the clock over.

In Macon Georgia right now and so ready to go home!! Tomorrow's ten days of being on vacation and though it's been a ton of fun, time to go back to our life now. Did learn something though and that's that I can do car travel but just need to take it easy. As long as I don't push my body, I can go do things but just need to schedule appropriately. The wife's happy to see this because I want my, our retired life to include seeing America and doing it by automobile! As long as I do it in moderation, all will be good!!

You sound like you want an RV experience, but I really can't see you traveling around in one. Car and motel works too, just pricier (putting aside the cost of buying the RV rig!)

Mentioned the email to the wife, and I couldn't even finish the sentence before she said "no".

Breld, the want is a new car in the driveway. the numbers, just semantics! Making a like model upgrade even odder. It isn't even like getting something new.

I was texting with my sister - her, my BIL and my mom flew from San Diego to Charlottesville, VA today. There is a wedding to attend tomorrow, and on Monday my BIL flies home to SD while my mom and sis drive 4+ hours to NE Tennessee so my mom can see one of her oldest friends.
They have a white Hyundai Sonata as their rental.
But, according to my sis, they almost didn't make it. They missed their original flight due to poor time management. Luckily, they were able to get booked as standby on a flight through O'Hare (the original flight was supposed to connect in Charlotte, NC), and got to town a few hours late. Tired, but in good spirits.
Wedding is at 4 tomorrow afternoon, so they are going to do some historical sight-seeing in the morning. I know UVA is there, and I hope they are able to visit Monticello as well.

Still have it narrowed down to 2 choices. Pirelli Scorpion Verde plus, and Cooper CS5 ultra touring. like them both. Leaning slightly toward the Pirellis for some reason (probably brand name history). But the cooper's are a good value and well regarded too. Tough decision.

May want to go with the Coopers based on @michael's experience.

one thing about the Scorpions. Tire rack has a bunch of different versions, with treadwear ratings ranging from about 400-720. The best are the plus model. Some of the low life ones are listed as OEM for Porsche or another brand. The ones I saw at Mavis were the plus with longer rating.

An expensive month. Besides putting money down on a car (hopefully this week!) and tires soon, finally got a contractor out this week to replace a bunch of rotted trim would on the house (looks vastly better now), and we ordered a new stove from Lowes (arrives in a couple weeks since back ordered) since the old one is having some issues, including a dead burner, and wife is paranoid it will die when she is cooking Thanksgiving! So I think that all will wipe out the discretionary spending for this year.
Deferring new carpet for the 3 spare bedrooms and runner for the stairs until the spring. Along with a replacement shed if I can't nurse the old one along. Man, I need to sell this house soon and make this all someone else's problem, though by the time I finish getting it ready, won't be anything left to do!

In 8 months when our lease is up, we're going to need to make a decision. We'll need to start looking early.

with the pets, if you can afford to buy where you want to be and expect to be there for a few years at least (and ideally retire there eventually), and you expect the prices to keep rising as the Seattle tide spreads out, then I would buy a place. Especially if rents will be nearly the same as a mortgage payment. Not without any risk, but if you are careful, with a little luck could be ahead of the game in a few years. Plus, no worries the landlord kicks you and your menagerie out, and can't find a replacement rental!
when we move (hopefully next year) I might rent temporarily (wife not a fan) buy we would intend to buy or build something soon after.

I'm planning on about 4 more years of working, Lord willing and the Columbia don't rise.

My uncle lives in Soap Lake, in a house that he says is worth maybe 180K (which there gets you a large lot and good sized brick house) - it would be a million in west Bellevue pretty easily. 150K will get you something decent in ML, too.
I hear you the spending. My gosh I hear you. Ours was just topped off with night in NYC and mini shopping spree for our 5th anniversary. House should be done this week and Until Christmas shopping starts we are *done*
For the group.. if you are ever in NYC and like steak, you must try Keens. Wow this was our third time there and I swear it’s the best I’ve ever had. Funny thing we were last there on our first anniversary and we were sat in the exact same table. What a coincidence.
