We all try to model what our retirement spending will look like so that we know when we are financially ready to retire. But then reality happens.
For those of you who are retired, how close to your projections and predictions has your spending actually been? Where did you find you underestimated, or overestimated, how much you would spend?
I read so many stories of people discovering new hobbies and interests after retirement which weren't part of their pre-retirement planning. Surely that must sometimes impact the anticipated spending.
Share your real life experiences with those of us who are still planning and dreaming about retirement down the road.
