I know intellectually that we have so much in our portfolio that we will never run out, but it still disturbs me to have a "negative month". That is, a month when we spend more than our pensions and social security. Even though we come out positive for the year and have yet to draw on our portfolio, it is difficult to drop the LBYM mindset that would always ring the alarm when we overspent.
You think you have mental money issues, Gumby, I am worse. I wont take a plug nickel out of my investments. I cash flow finance every big expenditure with my pension. I wanted a new vehicle, but wasnt going to take any money out of my stash for it. So last month I got a 0%, 5 year loan, financed by my COLA increase that I just received and it covers the car payment. Problem solved, ha.
