I think most people wonder about their finances…my mom always worried yet she was fine …then there are some who don’t worry whatsoever …they want to travel and enjoy the freedom….I have a few people I know that feel the government will take care of them ….it may be the business side of you …actually Terry still works …he tried retiring but wasn’t into it ,felt happier and more fulfilled working a few hours 3 days a week…so it’s a win win there and it keeps him happy …I and Terry have always been careful with our money not really showy , simple needs in a way …stuff I wanted as a younger person and couldn’t afford now that I can afford it , don’t care anymore !! Lol!

I think with more time as you are a newly retiree things will settle into a comfort zone for you ..

I think that everyone thinks about their retirement years ..its just a normal thought process for most of us …I think you’re in good company with your thinking!😊

As well as the diminishing bank account, there is another diminishing thing: the to-do list. I finished everything on my to-do list for the first time in my life. This is something I thought would be a lifelong impossible dream. Guess I will have to start a "Could-do" list or find another impossible dream.
