Changes in Household Spending After Retirement: Results from a Longitudinal Sample (PDF)
Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI] Nov. 19, 2015
"In the first two years of retirement, median household spending dropped by 5.5 percent from preretirement spending levels, and by 12.5 percent by the third or fourth year of retirement. But the spending reduction slowed down after the fourth year.... In the first two years of retirement, 45.9 percent of households spent more than what they had spent just before retirement. This declined to 33.4 percent by the sixth year of retirement. Households that spent more in the first two years of retirement were not exclusively high-income households; rather they were distributed similarly across income levels."
