Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I’m pretty frugal with most stuff, so that I can blow that dough on the stuff that matters to me, like saving and investing and travel. DW is reasonably frugal but she doesn’t care about personal finance and wants to blow that dough on the house, which gets expensive fast. We’re both “right”, and our assets are shared, so we got a low cost advisor to help us negotiate and stay on track with a plan. That plan projects we’ll spend down our assets more than I’d personally want to if I was solo, until max SS comes in. But I guess in spending them down we will be ensuring we are consuming the most while we are healthiest, we hope.
