Why was it so hard to figure out these numbers? Several reasons actually… In actuality, this has become sort of a nightmare for me that’s taken way more time than it should. When I initially started this post, I thought I’d have it written in a relatively short amount of time… pull a few numbers regarding our expenses in retirement from Mint, pretty it up with some nice pie charts, and call it day. This turned out to be a much bigger endeavor than I anticipated, but once done, we were surprised by what we found … check it out! We just ended 2022 a little bit ago, so why not strike while the iron’s hot?! I sometimes give a ballpark on what our bucket strategy is allowing us to spend each year… but I really haven’t gone in-depth on what our actual expenses in retirement have turned out to be.Īnd while I mentioned in my reply to Ian that I’d put it on my list for future posts sometime down the line, it made more sense to address it now. It was a good comment because he hit the nail on the head. In my post a couple of weeks ago, A Month-Long Panama Trip for 3 for an Unbeatable Price of Less than $1,500!, a reader named Ian asked in the comments what our expenses in retirement have been – both in the U.S. Gives you an overall snapshot of your profit/loss, what’s coming in for the month, what’s going out, and what’s left in your accounts.Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links and we may receive a referral fee (at no extra cost to you) if you sign up or purchase products or services mentioned.
