I've found that I spend a lot less money not working. I eat lunch at home most days and don't drive as much. I downgraded my cellphone. I haven't bought pantyhose in over a year! I cook more and use all the leftovers because I have time to make soup. We've traveled quite a bit, but now we can go during off-peak travel days. Our cruise to Alaska was a bargain...we probably spent less than if we'd stayed home. I highly recommend retirement!#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-22656293348667334132010-03-21T16:34:52.051-07:002010-03-21T16:34:52.051-07:00We can plan very carefully and still get surprises...We can plan very carefully and still get surprises.
