"We don't seem to have enough money to spend; but, when we are gone; there's still lots of money not spent.
He is planning in terms of future Cash Flow for his retirement life without leaving lots of money not spent.
The sources of his future cash flow will come from:
1) An investment portfolio generating just 4% yield p.a. at flat rate and non compounding.
2) Yearly partial asset drawn on CPF OA and cash FDs till the last withdrawal on 2036
3) CPF RA, SA and MA as self insured fund for medical and health care and also covered by enhanced medical shield. Assume zero growth.
Using actuarial present value of his future cash flow (excluding the asset value of investment portfolio) and total liabilities @ 2.5% year inflationary rate.
Now, he can reduce his tensions and worries over future market cycles.

ReplyDeleteMy late father-in-law spent his last 18 months in a government subsidized nursing home at monthly cost of $2,300 (just the cost of nursing home and exclude other medical, ambulance transportation and hospitalization expenses)
Recently, my colic's late father spent close to 6 yrs in religious supported nursing home at cost about $1,500 per month.
