Retirees get plenty of advice about cutting costs and stretching their savings. But I wanted to know what expenses actually deserve extra spending in retirement, so I asked ChatGPT which purchases retirees should splurge on without guilt.
The artificial intelligence didn’t suggest frivolous treats or random luxuries. Instead, it focused on what it called investment splurges that pay you back in health, well-being, time or joy. These are also purchases financial planners, retirement researchers and aging specialists consistently recommend.
