I haven't retired yet but I'm only a few short years away. I'm getting a good handle on my spending and have almost 20 years of data in Quicken. For those of you in retirment, how do you plan for major expenditures? I would be replacing a car every 8 - 10 years, spending $10,000+ on a new roof every 20 years, $12,000 on new HVAC system every 10 - 12 years, etc. I suppose I could amortize these expenses and have a major expenditure budget item. I wonder if there is a better or more practical way of doing it?
