A phase which after a year I am still very much in.<br /><br />That's really interesting. I was surprised that it took two years to get more than halfway through the decompression phase, at the time i assumed this was because towards the end work was seriously impairing my mental health.

You've done the hard part the accumulation, reached the summit, can now track your spending, as you deaccumulate as you reverse your saving, unless you choose to plateau and maintain your investments. Either way requires a degree of management.
