How much is enough for retirement in Singapore?
-
Cutting down expenses long term is not easy. Nothing to look forward to. What is the point of retirement then?
-
Different people have diff views on retirement , no rights or wrongs - just suit own needs.
I prefer to partial enjoy now and stay simple when old (no need car, condo , no need holidays etc )
what i fear most is becoming a burden to the upcoming generations, and a burden to myself or spouse . ( i saw a few old age cancer cases fr people i knew- miserable cases)
I am thinking by 71 yo, maybe i can start to be unhealthy again eat n eat, no need to measure blood pressure, chol level etc so higher chance to \"go\" by age 75 ,76( The end) :rotflmao: Or through Faith, God will bring us home at 70s , hopefully v peacefully (So must do good deeds and increase our kindness bank acct balance in heaven

I used to spend about 1k per mth for my DD1 enrichment. For my DD2 who is much younger, I only plan to spend around 200 per mth. Cannot afford to splurge… as I am in my forties…

And yes, I find the view of caring old couple taking public transport like MRT or buses supporting n holding each other v heart warming and romantic (picture of retirement in mind ) -
