$85k annual in COL expenses Agreed...that number seems very high for someone in retirement. It should be closer to half that for 2 people.
Okay, I’ll lay out our high expenditure retirement budget that comes out to $85K annually with an income of $102
$1,498 mortgage (25 more years)
$825 Grocery Store
$600 Health Insurance
$489 Car note (0% interest paid off in 18 more months)
$350 Personal/Entertainment
$300 Utilities
$300 Resturants
$300 Gasolne
$300 Drs
$350 Prescriptions
$350 Donations
$250 Phone/Direct TV/Internet bundle
$200 Clothes
$277 Vehicle Insurance
$187 Lng term Health Insurance
I also have budgeted $600/month to go to savings for things like season tickets, small trips. There’s another $400 that goes for small things like yard, haircuts etc
So, I have $600 extra for savings now. By paying off the mortgage I would just have more for trips and unexpected expenses. Also, I’m looking at that cushion to slowly be consumed by cost of living increases.

Pay it off and take two huge trips a year with the freed up money. You made it man, time to enjoy, and check some boxes.

Just curious-why are you asking people on a website who are not Financial professionals?
Have you had bad experiences w/the market? Financial professionals, etc?
