How do you switch from saving for retirement to spending on retirement?

I’m a thrifty person who aggressively saved for retirement. I am now retired. It is hard for me to spend the money.

My goal was always to “maintain my standard of living” into my retirement.

So far so good. But things like redoing the bathroom or taking 2/3 vacations a year are problematic for me.

I have done every retirement calculator known to man. I’m good. But paying a contractor for installing new gutters on the house gives me pause. Maybe I can watch some YouTube videos and do it myself?

Anybody else deal with this?
