Default Re: Do you think you spend "more" or spend "less" on extracurricula activities in TV

GF.... My experience is definitely spend less....

- fewer vacations (why travel when there's so much to do here and no cold weather to escape from)
- less auto expense (do everything by golf cart)
- Golf - executive style - 'virtually' free
- Used to belong to fitness club for indoor tennis and indoor pool; no need for that membership any longer
- Movie and 'show' tickets are very reasonably priced
- Never really had a plan B retirement location; Mostly comparing post retirement costs from 'back home' to now
- Probably spend a little more on eating out, but, we eat simply
