Yes, you're right - we should budget something for housewares.
The big question is health insurance. I mentioned that our annual mortgage expense is about $42,978 and I estimate that we'll have the mortgage paid off in eight years. But I'm thinking that I shouldn't eliminate the $42,978 from my expense estimate because there'll be health insurance to pay for. It's only my DW and me, and budgeting $43k for health insurance may be too much, but I don't know.
I'm hoping that someone will give me a convincing argument that my estimated expenses are way overblown and that we can retire today  - one can hope
