Different types of retirements


There are many ways to retire. Some are easier than others. And some still think there is no way they can retire at all :)

There are 2 main factors in retirement;

1. IN : how much do you have and
2. OUT : how much will you use during your retirement

So naturally if you have more IN than OUT then you can retire.

One of the ways is to calculate how much your OUT would be and then accumulate IN as fast as possible. You may have read that its rather simple for a single woman to retire at young age.

There are 2 main influence on the figure OUT;

1. if you live a luxury life, it may take longer to retire ... if ever ...
2. if you live frugally, you may retire sooner.

Some may think they live frugally but actually they may have been spending more than they should. A good way to quantify your OUT is to look at how you have been expensing for the past 10 years. It would most likely be how you will spend in future. The way we use our money is deeply embed in our subconscious. Its easier to discover it than to change it.

Once you have figured out how much you need to retire, you can work on the IN part. There are 2 ways to accumulate your IN;

1. Lump sum : save as much as possible until you reach the same amount as OUT, then retire.
2. Passive income : find a way to consistently receive your IN in smaller amount but continuously without doing much.

Now the key of successful retirement is you will need BOTH ways to accumulate your IN. Simply put, keep your day time job and start learning and building your passive income at the same time.

Problems come when some focus only on one Lump Sum to achieve retirement but a sudden expense surge in future may kick them out of their retirement. Some others only aim at luxury goals by only pursuing passive incomes neglecting the use of Lump Sum Saving method as a backup plan.

21st century trick ...

Once upon a time, there was a gasoline called 97. The cost of this item was $1.80. One day, the governing body wanted to increase the price to $2.10. However, the governing body knows that if they simply increase price, that will affect their popularity. Which in turn affect their eligibility to continue to be governing body in next election. Hence they come up with a perfect idea. They first introduce another brand called 95. Actually this is a much lower quality product than 97. In short, 97 simply means there is at least 97% of pure petrol in the gasoline. On the other hand, 95 only has 95% purity. However, they push out 95 as if it is a better quality product. They even add some 'addictive' into 95 to justify their claim its a better product. It was presented in a way that 95 will replace 97, and stay at the same price at $1.80 More than 90% of the consumer fall for it. Hence the transition of 97 to 95 went through smoothly. Majority of the consumers pay the ...

What is really important in Personal Finance Planning ?

There is a great video I have seen in LCF  where he talks about Insurance Investment Retirement Tax Estate Planning Although I may not agree to all points but it is actually quite good and all points presented professionally. Some of my pondering points 5-6% investment cost is NOT LOW Actually whether an investment cost is low or not is always relative.  For example, if you are paying 20-30% to others to manage your portfolio then it is lower to find one that is 5-6%.  Likewise, paying 1-2% fee when you manage your own investment is common.   So it is really a matter of your money vs your time.  If you pay more fee, you would expect better services just like any other things in life. Thousands of saving on tax can be compounded to millions While its true you could save on tax but usually its not in a huge magnitude.  To save thousands in tax, you probably have a certain amount of much bigger income to start with.   Its more toward FREE money vs ignora...
