I'm finding out in my retirement to stay healthy, enjoy this time in our lives, and do all this while keeping our
retirement funds pretty much intact.
Why? Because we are/were the generation of savers and my financial adviser keeps telling my wife and I to start
spending down our retirement next egg.
I receive our SS every month and a RMD payout every year and it's more then enough to live on.
I'm always asking myself what would happen to our savings in a medical emergency.
Maybe I shouldn't worry about that as much as I do.

We have one adopted son that makes more money today per month then my wife and I made together.
He lives 5 mins. away and says he don't expects a dime from our estate, also has his $450,000 house pay for.
