As someone with 6 days of work left, I'd LOVE to know any tips that people have found to save money in retirement time.  Taxes,utilities,food,anything that you've found useful?

Downsizing made the difference. Sold my home moved to be closer to my Grandchildren and Son Daughter in law. Less is more than enough for my needs. Stopped impulse shopping,  Qvc live was easily dangerous. Since watching online only made difference casual lifestyle means less money spent on clothes. Really helps me to back away from buying until given thought and honestly asked myself what is really going on? Will I wear this? Of course! Treating myself saved for trip bora bora. Congratulations! Enjoy your new life. Best regards!🙋

Good luck. I hope you have a hefty bank account. It's not easy if you don't.

@catwhisperer...exactly, which is why I plan on working until I am physically unable, or drop dead, whichever comes first. As long as God, in his magnificent grace, provides me a job, it's off to work I go. It helps that I love what I do.

How do you know if your bank account is " hefty" enough?

@SurferWife....DH and I were doing great until a couple unforseen medical issues happened and threw us for a loop.
