You probably generated enough brass (which is the most expensive component) this year to allow reloads for 2 years. Make a one time investment in a manual progressive press and you can load (or could before the current panic)1k 9mm for $20 in powder, $25.00 in primers and less than $100 in plated bullets. You choose your power factor, and since you are retired the time is yours to allocate as well.
Component prices are up at present, but it is still about half (or less) as expensive to roll your own.
