This question really depends on individual habits ba. Most experts would advise a 3 to 4* percent withdrawal from retirement funds per year. With that just need to calculate how much annual expense would be and multiply that amount by 25 to 33.33 times (depending on risk appetite) to get the retirement sum required.
*This is just an estimated amount. Actual amount would depend on the retirement age, the spending habits and investment abilities. -
Revisiting the topic on annuity again, is there a need for an annuity to address the longevity?

Something to ponder over....
Just read an article that the late HK actress Lydia Shum left an inheritance of $11m for her only daughter, Joyce Cheng but Joyce can only inherit it after she hits 35yo. Her mum also left her a trust fund which pays her S$3,600 per month.
Earlier, Joyce said she was so poor as she was only left with $4.50 in her bank but she has since picked herself up and now, she’s a F&B entrepreneur.
I think it’s a good idea to set up trust funds to dole out monthly allowance and only inherit big ticket item when the kid has attained maturity (35yo?).
I can’t give my kids S$3,600 per month but maybe $300 (enough to buy Gardenia/Sunshine bread for a mth ). Too much monthly allowance and kids may just choose to rot at home.
