For young adult, tracking of current spending (even for 5 years) is not going to help him in planning for retirement.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
Because his spending is evolving over time .... from single to double (married), kids, education, housing needs... etc
Hence, he has to rely on certain projection to come up with realistic budget (Income and spending).
having said that, actual spending tracking help to monitor and compare so that he does not exceed his budget.
Especially for someone who wish to know how much is enough to retire in X or XX years; it is better to track their annual household expenses closely. When we still have children or aged parents who are dependents; it will be a wild card to know how much is enough? Margin of errors in estimation will be high!
