You should be fine.... of course, without knowing the line items in your budget, it's hard to tell. $8K/month far exceeds the average retirement income here in TV, so, that might elicit some unsympathetic responses.

One thing respondents should keep in mind is some folks are paying the full cost of health insurance plus substantial out of pocket for medical. It's not unheard of for a couple to have over $2,000/month in insurance and out of pocket medical expenses. That takes a big bite out of the budget.

You may find other expenses less than what you spend now....less costs for gasoline, enterainment; you may find you don't need 2 cars.

For your type of house, you can expect the non-mortgage, housing related expenses to be 1200-1500/month (taxes, insurance, utilities, fees, bond, cable, phone, etc).
