The American Dream is different from 1 person to the other. Some people like living on a strict budget, some people can’t afford to pay for a $1000 car repair, and some want financial freedom to do or buy whatever they want.
We are retired or almost retired, you built up your retirement nest egg for these times, so it’s time to enjoy what you have until you’re gone.
Read the book “die with zero”, it will make you think about the future. After I read this, we increased our budget by 6x.
