I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

How much you’ll need to retire?


Read? Time is your bff for retirement planning


How much you’ll need

A good rule of thumb is the replacement rate (or replacement ratio), which is calculated in this way:

Replacement rate = income after you retire / income before you retire

The recommended replacement rate varies from around 60 to 80%.


Hmm ....  

It looks like Uncle8888 has to deploy his war chest sooner to catch up with the recommended replacement rate towards the higher end.

  1. CW,

    On guard for a poke OK?

    How much you need per month AFTER retirement you need a formula to tell you?

    You don't trust your own feet? Trust a ruler more to tell you what shoes would fit better?

    You already got 3 years of monthly expenses AFTER retirement tracked and pasted to powerpoint. What's the point of doing that if you can rely on this "theoratical" one-size-fits-all formula?

    Eh?


    P.S. I just know if AFTER retirement I want a wine, women, and song lifestyle, no money is ever enough. If I herbivore (not interested in sex), then I need a lot less... LOL!

    Data points to verify theoretical formula by FAs Vs actual and measuring our own feet.

    What is the variance?
