If someone would have told me I would spend 6 figure number in retirement I would have called them a fool! I was just looking back this evening at some numbers so far this year.
Each of the last two years with charity, gifting, buying land, and buying cars etc. etc. and not including our living expenses 6 figures for each of the years.
I'm a very frugal, thrifty and saver by nature. My confidence in spending has loosened up and not sure why. I'm not always happy about spending money that I worked so hard to get. Lol
I have a couple more larger checks I will write yet in 2021. I hope 2022 is just back to our normal expenses. I will not be spending anything out of just living life and essentials. I Hope!
Anyone else seem to be spending more than you ever have in retirement and yet feel secure finically and at easy doing so?
