    We retired at age 62 in 2019. Health insurance subsidized via Obamacare saved us over $25,000 per year until Medicare at age 65. &nbsp;Then Roth Conversions from age 65 until RMDs start at age 73. &nbsp;The IRMAA threshold of $218,000 so Roth Conversions to keep our income below that threshold. &nbsp;No desire to travel as we enjoy our life in Montana...cross country skiing, canoeing, wildlife photography, backpacking, camping , fishing, gardening, mountain biking, etc.

    Spending from a taxable account which can be straight saving and is often used to supplement income needs, while using some of it to fund Roth Conversions is an acceptable first use that account.

    Having more than you started with when you die is often a deliberate choice. We WANT TO leave an estate for kids and grandkids. We value time with them over trips or casinos. Some of us are not materialistic. Things do not mean much. trips, for a lot of us, are just a big hassle, one we would rather avoid. A nice weekend at a lake, a walk in the woods, that is all we need or want. Purpose? Rest.
