cost of living... in Hi This is Kat!

Now that Mark is retired I reflect on how people may or may not live within their means????
Everyone’s numbers are different.
What does it take you to live on for a year? Will you be able to comfortably retire? Will you have your finances down to where you can solely live of SS a month?

Everything we own is ours… we owe nothing on cars or homes and no credit card debt… we pay the card off every month.... but my mother’s neighbor will never be able to stop working! They rent and their rent is about what their SS is!

Our goal is to never touch our investments… maybe use the monthly interest at times?
