Usually the clickbait lists are just that, but I thought this one about dumb ways to blow money in retirement wasn't bad...
1. Ignoring senior discounts 2. Buying unneeded insurance 3. Supporting grown children financially 4. Maintaining two cars 5. Refusing to downsize 6. Insisting on brand name medications 7. Donating to every charity that calls
Comment away...

Strangely, we don't do any of the listed things.
I'd add not having emergency money on hand, and having continuing debt.

Only one I disagree on is the maintaining two cars. For some one car might be good. In this area if you need any repairs at all you going to be afoot anywhere from one to two weeks on the fast side. From where I live that leaves a long walk to anywhere.

A saddle-broke Mule might not be a bad idea....

You mean I shouldn't be donating to the priest that is preventing cat juggling?
