Our September Retirement Budget: What We Actually Spent After Retiring at 54 + YouTube $$

How much did we actually spend in September after retiring early at 54? In this month's retirement budget update, I'm going through our real September spending, including recurring monthly expenses, irregular expenses, our year-to-date retirement budget scorecard, and what the Scott Unclocked YouTube channel earned during the month. One of the reasons I share these monthly updates is that retirement planning on paper and actually living on a retirement budget are two different things. Tracking our real spending gives me a chance to see where our original retirement plan was accurate, where we're spending less than expected, and where real life is turning out differently. 📊 PLAN YOUR RETIREMENT WITH BOLDIN I use Boldin to model retirement scenarios, spending, taxes, and other long-term financial decisions.
