Hi, Mustachians,
So I had been planning to retire this July and follow my girlfriend to Denver. Well, it turns out I was downsized in March. The severance payment along with my bonus and last couple of paychecks, pretty much got me to my FIRE number. So I've been enjoying retirement about three months earlier than expected. It comes as no big surprise that I don't miss the corporate grind and living in a cubicle at all. (I was an actuary for a life insurance company. I realize now how much I despise actuaries and life insurance.)
I'm currently in Western Massachusetts and plan to move to Colorado in August. I'd like to rent a two bedroom place and am looking for something in the $1600-or-less range. My girlfriend will be commuting to the University of Colorado Medical Center in Aurora for work each day, so we'd like to live someplace that's within a 30 minute drive. Do any of you Mustachians who live in or near the Mile High City have recommendations on where we should look? We're planning on flying out in a few weeks to visit places.
Thanks!
