Retirees Who Rarely Worry About Money Tend to Avoid Spending on Certain Things

True financial security in retirement often starts with knowing where not to spend. Many retirees who feel confident about their finances make intentional choices: they steer clear of unnecessary extended warranties, opt for term life insurance, drive cars a little longer, cut the cable cord, and eliminate unused subscriptions. They’re also careful to avoid high fees and plan their vacations during off-peak times. It’s a practical mindset—one I see echoed in the strategies behind Executive Bonus Plans, Defined Benefit Plans, and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans. Focusing on efficiency and value, both in spending and in retirement planning, can go a long way toward lasting peace of mind.
