I'm I completely missing something? Is there no one here who cut their spending significantly in retirement?
Huge changes for us. Income taxes are way down, college costs will be ending, the kids cost close to $10K each a year not including college costs and they will be off the payroll before too long, job related expenses were $9K, we had a tax firm do our taxes for over $2K a year and now DH has had time to learn to do those, we cut the annual energy bill by over $2K, got rid of the landline for $600, lowered the cable bill by $620 a year and a bunch more.
I keep a list and it has 121 cuts or group of cuts so far and we still have a long list of action items we just have not had time to get to yet. If you have optimized spending now maybe your list will be a lot less. But we had a lot of fat we could cut from our working years budget now that we have more free time to review and optimize every expense.
