Sometimes I worry that I may have saved too much. I'm a habitual saver, not a big spender. So, to justify saving so much I tell myself I may live a lot longer than expected....perhaps to 115, and there may be a lot of inflation somewhere down the road.

I may live long enough to see the price of an average car at $50,000. or more. Independent living facility at $150,000 per year. And what if I end up in an independent living facility for 15 or more years? What then? That's why I keep saving as much as I can even though I may already have saved enough.
