You might think that spending more time at home means more retirement expenses by default. In fact, once you retire, you’ll spend less money on food. Since your children are already grown up and moved to their homes, there will be fewer mouths to feed, resulting in lower retirement expenses.
Data shows that households headed by people 65 and older spend about $5,698 a year on food, which includes both the cost of home-cooked meals and eating out. That compares with an average of $7,316 per year spent by US working households.
