The cost of living is one third of where we lived before and the weather is better.
I only watch the price of oil because I still have to buy gas. Can't go anywhere in the motorhome for a while, though. Boo Hoo.

We have a similar story. We both retired almost two years ago and despite taking out weekly amounts (we have decreased that amount twice already) we have more (even with the ups and downs the past few weeks) than we have when we started. I had also taken out a large amount for a down payment when I traded in my old RV and upgraded to a 2019 Class A. Even with all those withdrawals, thanks to the current economy due to our President, our retirement is still growing and much, much larger than when we retired.
