EBRI followed up with a deeper dive into spending trends among retirees with its 2024 Spending in Retirement Survey.

But the list also included gifts for special occasions ($400), clothing or shoes ($300), dining out ($300) and entertainment ($200). Of course, every family’s circumstances and finances are different.
