10 Worst Mistakes People Make After Retirement

4) Spending Too Much Money Too Soon

Before finalizing your retirement, you must take into consideration that you

will only be living on a fixed amount of money.  Oftentimes the amount of retirement savings looks pretty large, but retirees must keep in mind that money will have to last a very long time – hopefully a very, very long time! Avoid the temptation to spend large chunks of that nest egg early in retirement.  The temptation to spend your money can be almost iresistable, but discipline is vital. Depleting your money beyond the interest that it earns will hurt the principal and would leave you with nothing after just a few years.
