Happy retirees are also savvy savers. I’ve actually increased my net worth since retiring last year.
Our net worth number has increased slightly, but I’m sure that if I accounted for a realistic amount of inflation, it would show a significant decrease.
With Trump (and DOGE) getting in, I think you may well make out the next four years as well!
I had originally planned to retire in about 3-5 more years but might just take the plunge shortly as my wife and I hit on all these habits.
Same. I went back to work PT just to have something to do and now we are piling up cash and not touching our investments. And I started Social Security this month.
Happy retirees are debt free and own a home.
Happy retirees don’t worry about money. I spent $500 for a room at the Days Inn for Homecoming weekend. I am spending about the same for a suite for 3 nights in a resort town.
Happy retirees live where they want to live.
