Good advice you had for Sam.

Quick story here. My younger brother was able to retire a couple of years before I could. He and his wife were debt free, but not certain of their future expenses. He bought a "budget" planner and tracked every dime they spent. That was nearly 5 years ago and they still keep their budget. They live very well, have managed to budget "extra" things into their lives.

I've tried this approach, but seem to lack the discipline to stay with it. I was widowed 10 years ago, live alone and have minimal expenses, so I'm a little more careless with my money. But I never run short at the end of a month. It is truly a blessing to have "enough".
