[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents worked a long time and saved a ton, and I am surprised by how little they are spending in retirement in their 70s. They do travel, but their life is becoming simpler day to day as they age. I think it is just something about the life stage, that you need less, want less, and are less interested in seeking out "stuff" and novelty. They used to dine out at expensive restaurants for example, for special occasions, but now they don't. They buy very little.[/quote] This has been my experience as well with my parents and all of older family members. They seem to spend less and less after their early 70s. My dad just likes being home since he hit 80, and he is fairly healthy for someone that age although he can’t bend down very well anymore. Gym and home that is his routine, with rare outings, and that’s the way he likes it.[/quote]
