I have often joked with DW about being able to retire. Many years ago I would joke that we could retire immediately if we wanted to live in a trailer in Mexico. And I've always looked at retirement like that. I could have retired 3 years ago if I were willing to live less expensively.
A few days ago, I ran Firecalc and got a 94% success ratio spending 30K per year. Personally, I could live off that. We are debt free in all respects, so monthly bills are for utilities, insurance, food, etc. DW is a little more high maintenance. She would like to have more $$, so we are going to keep at it a while. My question is whether there is anyone out there living comfortably on 30K in this forum. If so, is it difficult or not? Do you spend more or less than when you were working?
