Other than annual trip up north to visit children/grandchildren and a mini trip on our wedding anniversary, that’s it for travel. Still have $750.00 mortgage and $350.00 car payment. We both worked part time 2 or 3 days a week until this year. I am 80 and wife 78. Income per month is $6000.00 from social security, v a disability, pension, and minimum withdrawal from retirement. Eat out once a week and stop for a drink once in a while. Everyone has a different story but I do chuckle at the million dollar figure.
Thank you for your service.
