Thanks for the responses.

I find it interesting that some folks find the question silly because the amount of money you can spend on a daily basis pretty much determines the type of lifestyle you can live. One may choose to live in a big house, or one may choose to live in a small one. Everything is choice, and I was interested in knowing how much individuals would feel comfortable with knowing that every day, that was their disposable income.

I doubt anyone would be happy with $5.00 per day after all fixed expenses. I'm sure most would be happy with $500 per day disposable after all fixed expenses.

I've thrown together a spreadsheet with several different retirement scenarios with the goal of seeing how much daily disposable income there is in each scenario. I have an idea of what I would like to have and was just curious what others felt they would be comfortable with.

Just wanted to see where I fit in the curve with others at the villages.

For the record, I was thinking $80 per day would probably be a good amount to enjoy retirement at the villages.
