Transport

These 3 expenses under the lifestyle expenses will be the “minimum spending” when it comes to your retirement planning as they are the things you will need to spend in order to live. 

#2 Lifestyle expenses 

This is the part where things can get exciting! Going to travel to places to your dream places! Bringing your family for vacation during your kids’ holiday or even eating at restaurants to enjoy the nice foods. For this kind of expenses, it really varies as it can only be determined by the kind of lifestyle that you want to have. 

Boredom could be the biggest challenge in retirement, especially if you have been a very hard worker before retirement. What do you do when you are bored especially at the start of your retirement. Does your retirement blueprint include all these expenses?

 

Calculate how much we need to retire 

After deciding the lifestyle and living expenses that you need to spend during your retirement. You will be able to calculate the amount that you need to retire based on your retirement age and how long you expect to live till ( An assumption needs to be made for this) 

That’s right. That will be the size of retirement funds that you need to have before you can retire. The question is do you know where you are currently and where you want to be when you retire? Then you will know your shortfall and you can work towards it. 

This is one way on how to plan for retirement in Singapore as the cost of living has been rising. We need to factor in all the expenses that we need to spend.
