[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2287749, member: 52145"] for starters, before we retired from UPS , we paid off the house 18 months ( wish it was 24 or more ) before going out. put all that extra money into savings. had a special savings account with at least 12 months of expenses . stockpiled food and water and basic necessities. first aid supplies, Otc medicines, etc. bought a late model SUV, bought all new appliances , had all remodeling done for the house. 5 years before going out , we made a list of everything we thought we would need to retire and started doing it. making the big bucks made it a lot easier as when you retire your income may be cut in half or more . so far after only being retired for a year there has really been no surprises. some expenses are down like gasoline and car repairs but some have gone up like medical bills and we eat out more now but can afford it. there is a wealth of information most retirees would love to share for people who want to make that giant leap to retirement with confidence.
