At least in the early years anyway.
If your active and enjoy doing things time cost money and one thing we will have plenty of is time.* Geesh we cant go out the door on a saturday without dropping a hundred bucks somewhere somehow. Just meeting the kids for a diner lunch is 50 bucks.

My personal taxable income is under 10K and has been for several years. Peak years working it was
in 6 figures. No real significant saving at either level, which means all of the income got spent. The point is that the spending drop from pre to post
retirement was enormous. This was necessary in my case to make it work.
Still, no regrets and no discomfort with my lifestyle.
TH/cfb.............if you are still out there, I know you think all of this is skewed. Just making a point. No debate necessary.
