I was retired for about 5 years, got bored and started farming. Small scale but it keeps me busy. We spent less than when were working. For one didn't need work clothing. That for some is jeans and work boots and dress shirts and ties for others. Both cost money. When you are not working jeans and boots last a lot longer. We drive less not having to commute.

If a person can get their debt down then they darn sure don't need as much. I know a guy who retired from Onan as one of their mechanical engineers. Younger wife who is expensive to maintain. His retirement was much larger than mine. He's always complaining that he should have stayed working.
