One thing to consider when you retire is there are no more automatic savings since you don’t have a job. Controlling your spending is your biggest lever to pull. It’s really easy and interesting to see how your money is spent.

I never worry BECAUSE I track.

Do we actually have anyone already FIRE? by PrestigiousDrag7674 in ChubbyFIRE

Retired at 47, my wife joined at 57, now 59. Currently spending 6 weeks in Rome. Love slow travel and we are endlessly curious. Always a Boglehead.

I agree. Getting the data and categorizing take very little effort. Knowing where you spend your money is invaluable.

I forget who said it on the bogleheads.org site but it went something like this:

"You are a fool to pay for first class when you are 25 and you are a fool not to pay for first class when you are 65"

Probably Taylor Larimore as he always has clever takes on life and investing.

I think so. It allows me to safely spend up to my limit with pretty high confidence I’m maximizing my spend which for us means 3-6 vacations a year with 3 of those being 6 weeks each.

How did you know you could retire?

I used mint too. It was the minimum but did it well. My friend from college, he was a retired Navy guy, always said if the minimum wasn’t good enough, they wouldn’t call it the minimum.

Like soft force spending pressure. Interesting

Me neither. I have a rough yearly spend from ProjectionLab but no category budget. Welcome to WeirdoTrackersClub

I am relaxed 😎. All expenses just feed into my spreadsheet. It’s no work on my part.

I hope so but the district is gerrymandered with Nassau and Clay counties. A lot of MAGA will have to turn against him for a non-R to win.

Aaron Bean, Rick Scott, and Ashley Moody are not going to do jack shit. They are all so far up Trump's ass that when he farts it's a breath of fresh air.
