Do Not Make Too Many Changes at Once When You Retire!
While your new-found freedom in not working may find you wanting to eat out every night,
keep in mind that you will be expending much more money than if you stayed in and cooked.
It is perfectly fine to treat yourself once per week to a nice meal out; however, cooking in can
save you tons of money.
If you are finding yourself a bit bored and needing extra income, do not feel that you have to
stay fully retired. Find a hobby and turn it into some extra cash. Craft fairs are a perfect way to do this.
Still maintain your frugal habits, such as repairing broken household items rather than running out to buy new.
Refurbish your wardrobe with some good old-fashioned cleaning, sewing, and dyeing to freshen it up
without running out to buy a whole new wardrobe.
These are just a few good tips on how to live within your means when you retire.
