Srode1 pretty much described my experience too. I don’t have time to do everything I want to do and don’t know how I got it all done when I was working.
I retired 7 years ago at 56 and the one thing I can say is my expenses GREW rather substantially. I’m spending more on hobbies, travel, home renovations than I did while working. Way more.
The guy across the street from me just passed away at 103. Lived alone until the end. I knew him for almost 40 years and I can tell you I’m in a lot better shape than he was when he was my age.
My point is plan on living a long time. My parents were both in their early 90’s when they passed so I have my financial planner use 100 for my wife and I when he does the modeling.
I’ve heard it said that the first person to live to 150 has probably already been born. I don’t want to see that guy at the gym….
