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.
What you describe to me sounds like surviving..... You've adapted your lifestyle to fit your income.

You "chuckle at the million dollar figure", but if you had a million wouldn't you live differently?
