My impression when I first joined the board was that there were many people who were retired or going to retire on three to four thousand a month. I remember once we had a poster who said he needed $100,000 to $120,000 a year and we kind of gave him a hard time. Now it seems like a regular occurrence for people to want/need that much and it seems quite rare to see people who claim to live on less than $50,000 a year.
Is my impression right? How have things changed? Is it just because more people are on the forum?
I know that nicolette has asked the question "how much do you want a year to live on when you retire?" I am asking the question pointed to actual retirees: How much money did you spend last year? Yes, taxes included. Everything included. If you had a big special expense, tell us about it.
