I am wondering if there are many of you who have successfully cut spending dramatically after retirement. I ask because I am hopeful of doing just that in order to preserve my assests for a"special need child" I have for many years had income in excess of $100,000 a year. I want to be able to scale that back to living on only $40,000 a year after retirement. I am doing all the necessary things, selling big house, moving to cheaper area, no debt, but I still wonder if I can make the adjustment as I hope to.
I spend freely now, but I am starting to try and spend more carefully. Kinda like PRACTICING for the big day.
Have many of you been successful in making a BIG change in spending in retirement?
