CW8888: How much is enough to retire comfortably in Singapore for a couple without housing loans and children all independence?
When you NO need to save for your retirement anymore and also debt free; $4,000 to $6,000 is enough???
Among households headed by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident which had at least one working person, the median monthly income last year grew by 3 per cent in nominal terms to S$9,293, up from $9,023 in 2017.
Do you think this statistics is meaningful when it includes the employer's CPF? I am just curious how this could be compared against other countries with no such scheme. Would median on disposable income be a lot more meaningful for Singapore?
ReplyDeleteFor retirement planning, we can deduct 37% off the median to work out magical number of how much is enough.
Delete4-6k is definitely enough. When one is retired, there is no need for the following:
ReplyDelete1. Save for retirement.
2.CPF contribution, haha incl employers
3. home mortgage
4. children education
5 . car loans, and travelling expenses
6. working expenses, from clothing to meals
7. client entertainment, beer money
8. Ang pow money
I’m spending much less than the stated quantum.
As retiree, still need to give ang pow. :-(
