Looking at my 2023 spending my top 10 expenses from highest to lowest were:
1. Federal taxes
2. Travel
3. State taxes (CA)
4. Mortgage
5. Property taxes
6. Groceries
7. Medicare
8. Pet care (3 dogs, lots of boarding due to travel)
9. Social Security
10. Health care (insurance + deductibles/copay)
If I were to include my son's college expenses it would come in at number 7 last year (only paid for 2 quarters so far) but I didn't include it since it paid out of the 529.
I'm still working and get heavily subsidized health insurance so I expect in retirement health care will move up to the #3 spot until I qualify for Medicare. Curious what other retirees top ten expenses look like?
