2018 expenses, goals, returns from investments and FI date

Expenses:

I have spent 538656.41 in 2018. 

In 2019 
I should save on cash by not taking more than 9500 per month. Monthly 4000 goes to cook and 1500 to maintenance. Should limit cash spending to 4000 which is 1000 per week.
Tax should be less in 2019 as it is paid on time and redemption are less. 
Life insurance I will change to 18 year term plan this year, which should save 7000.
I should save on medicines by ordering online and if possible tests.
