We're used to money flowing the other way, of course, so a bit strange. It's all good.
I could do the math, so I wasn't worried much. Reassured by all the retirement calculators. 1poorlady was very worried about the direction of money flows (floes?), but enough time has passed that she's comfortable with it. Or at least more comfortable than she was.
But it is still a feeling you have to get used to. We made one stock sale, and then mom died. Her estate wasn't very large, but it has kept us funded for three years (house paid off, cars paid off, both before she died, so minimal living expenses plus some nice trips).
Medical was the biggest concern for retirement, but you know all about that already. We'll both be on Medicare in a few years, and SS money will start flowing a few years after that. I think it might actually be a challenge to spend our assets before we die, since we aren't extravagant people. A good situation to be in.
