From a May 2018 article:https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/retirement/2018/05/31/what-does-an-average-retirement-cost/35455427/
The article posits an average U.S. senior household budget @ $45,756, breaking down the dollar expenses by category.
What areas would you consider to be far off the numbers in the article? As I know many of you include substantial travel expenses in your budget, perhaps to consider your comparison exclusive of your planned travel dollars. ie. a budget that includes $20,000 for travel would automatically change a$50,000 budget to $70,000.
Our own budget is relativelyclose to the breakdown shown in the article, so maybe we're kind of "average".
