My viewpoint is to spend enough in that you don't deny yourself too much but save enough for a major expenditure. It's worked so far for me.

I will spend more once I'm retired on travel but I will adhere to the 4% rule for the mandatory withdrawal rate. That will suffice as my needs are fairly simple to satisfy.

I think all seniors want to leave something for their children so I will hopefully leave something of value other than memories.
