I'm not retired, but my income is still 'fixed' in that I get paid a certain amount every month. So yes, if I want to buy a more expensive book (or something for one of my many other hobbies), it all comes out of the same "discretionary spending" amount. Pay more for a book? Well, guess I have to pass up that other book I wanted to buy also, wait until next month.
