There are, of course other arguments that come into play. No longer being financially responsible for parents, children pretty much doing o.k., etc. etc.
With the exception of golf, our spending has definantly went down over the last 20 years. (I am not nearly as restless as I used to be). 
However, I totally agree with you on your point about spending less when you are busy working.
But then again, why in the hell would you retire if you can't do the things that make your life worthwhile.?

Actually in my case, I'm getting more bang for my bucks with respect to golf. Pre-retirement I belonged to a club and played maybe 2-3 times a week. Post retirement I still pay the same dues but play 5-6 times a week. Much more economical per round for me. Retirement is good.
