I agree. I was figuring to do most of that myself but you still have a couple of hundred dollars supplies. I broke my budget into sections such Household, Food & Clothing, Transportaion, Health, and fun.
The A/C maintenance brings up another problem. Do you budget a little each month toward major repair expenses or do you have assets that you can use to cover the expense.
Inflation is a big problem, espicaly if you are using annuities that are not inflation adjusted. I think you can expect living costs to double in the years that you are at TV.
