Thanks for answering. Out of curiosity, did the 700k include the house? My company is quite small. It can maintain it and have a relatively stable income, but

  Sorry for the late response. No, the 700k didn't. However, our house isn't worth much. We live in a rural part of Canada, and our house here was just under $70k. It's a pretty nice house too. You can even find cheaper houses, if you're willing to compromise a bit. It's not that far from Kelowna, which is a nicer area but over priced. In the States, I've lived in California (SF Bay Area) and Hawaii. Those places are WAY expensive. I would probably end up moving to a cheaper part of the country with cheaper housing. But, the health insurance thing would really worry me. Health care in the U.S. is dauntingly expensive. I know that private HMO insurance for people over 55 y.o. is over $10k a year, and that goes higher as one ages. Canada is why my wife and I are able to retire pretty young.
