Spending money, is a learned skill. It can be hard for many to do in retirement.
Those of us that have had a health issue, or in my case lost a spouse, know that one's portfolio is meaningless. We know the memories are what are truly of value.
Late wife and I traveled, rved on long road trips and so on. Not only do I not regret it, I cherish those memories more that anything. ( and yeah we spent a boat load of money doing it) But had we not done it, I would have more money, but she would still be dead.
I suspect, after you get it, you will wonder why you did not get it years ago.
For what it's worth that is my take on this life
Well Said,
Unfortunately many do not truly understand what your saying unless they have personally experienced a loss or health issue.
So true, and I hope others never will have to understand. But truth is it will come to all of us at some point
