Haiyaa make it simple la, whatever you save is whatever you get.
Today 1 plate of jiken rice is about RM8. If you save RM500 per month, it is enough to feed you lunch and dinner jiken rice for 1 month, If you can save RM1000 per month, it means for every month you work, you can stay retired for two months. The more you save, the longer you can stay retired. Assuming interest rates (EPF) match inflation, this will be true as long as EPF can keep it up. No need to use magic crystal ball to predict ringgit value X years in the future. |

QUOTE(stupiak07 @ Feb 13 2025, 07:53 PM) Just look at how much you are spending vs how much you are saving. If you spend RM10k but you save RM10k. It only means you work for 1 year, you can spend 1 year with no income. If you spend RM15k but you save only 5k. It means you work for 1 year, you can only spend 4 months retired. if you are 30/40 now, you have 20-30 years to go, and 20-30 years left to live after that (based on average lifespan), so are you saving as much as you are spending? |

Nonsense la. 2mil is enough already. Assuming u have 2mil in your epf and 6% dividend, u have rm10k every month, free of charge for u to use without touching a single cents of the 2mil.
10k for a retiree aged 60 is more than enough for comfortable. Keypoint here is comfortable, not luxury. The bodo video maker sure fails english and duno to differentiate this 2 meaning. |

The reality is most people except gomen servants couldn't afford to retire at 60 y.o, need to work until they are too weak to work.

Serious,
If you are not multi millionaire no point to spend your hard earn money on medical when you are in third or last stage of cancer. The most important you need to provide for your children is build right character n education. So sad to say Malaysia without the right person. Too much of moron. Daily topic = Culture, Race n Religion. Blood is red, dont believe!? Please cut yourself. We are same. All this nonsense about Culture, Race n Religion = Scam. The most cheaper weapon for politic is Culture, Race n Religion. |

3m to retire. Number pull from ass one is it.
Say the person 60 yo retire, live until 95. He can withdraw rm 8750 per month with 4% increment account for inflation. If roi per year in epf is 5% 8.7k nett income already lower T20 range. Sohai. Betul When this person at 90yo, he is withdrawing close to 27k per month. Or 327 per year. 90 yo still can spend like that ar? https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/compound?...=1&c=1&di=&wi=4 This post has been edited by littlegamer: Feb 14 2025, 05:13 AM |

For foreveralone, gomen and your fellow Malaysians thank you edit: For stable income during retirement,, especially foreveralone, I would say EPF > all. For rental income, you also need to consider that some months, the units may be empty. You will also need to put in some work, repairs, cleaning etc. So far, I haven't touched my EPF yet, seems like it is going to be my emergency medical funds.

IMHO, just use simple numbersComfortably here assuming can sustain 10k per month life style? But I don't know how much is 10k in 20-30 years from now How much is going into your epf each month? And how much is already in there? Eg you have 100k in your EPF. every month you + your boss banks in 5k to your EPF. You want 10k every month when retired. But you only bank in 5k every month when working. 1 month retired = 2 months working 35 - > 55 is 20 years, 55 -> 75 is 20 years. So in terms of work time, you have 100/5 = 20 months in the EPF. Just leave it alone, EPF dividends will take care of inflation. 12 x 20 years = 240 months Your target is 240 months retired or 480 months working. You currently have 20 months in EPF + 240 months left of working life = 260 months. So you are a bit behind and need to increase savings or reduce spending. |

Assuming u have 2mil in your epf and 6% dividend, u have rm10k every month, free of charge for u to use without touching a single cents of the 2mil. agree bro. i can do with 1mil rm5k per month but if can 1.5mil to be safe, house settled and car settled. This 5k not include waifu's part... Can allocate abit to cheong once per month. owai10k for a retiree aged 60 is more than enough for comfortable. Keypoint here is comfortable, not luxury.

Before you all start running around naked, just focus on building at least RM1million in your EPF. It doesn’t matter how you get there (legally or illegally) just get it done. Personally know a few close friends who took some illegal shortcuts and managed to retire before 40. Now, they’re just living off their EPF dividends every month doing nothing. For now, EPF is still considered very safe as a source of passive income provided RM1m above.

Yes, 3 million is possible but comfortable? Debatable especially in Klang Valley.
Take the 4% rule, 3 mil works out to 120k per year (10k per month). 10k is ok, but not really in the comfy zone especially looking at inflation. |

For foreveralone, gomen and your fellow Malaysians thank you edit: For stable income during retirement,, especially foreveralone, I would say EPF > all. For rental income, you also need to consider that some months, the units may be empty.

I only have commercial units, today go yesterday already got people want to rent, nobody are building new commercial so it's always in demand unlike stupid condominiums, every year add 100,000 200,000 units but population decreasing.

alot of these "how much retirement fund you need" are super based on your lifestyle in first place
you see those unker aunty living simple life in outskirts of KL with no debts + fully paid car/house + having a small farm at their backyard, these people dont need RM3mil retirement fund to survive, they are very self sustainable if youre living in city especially when you super reliant on buying all your essentials here there from grocer/markets then yes you will need to buffer up more as usual, it gets complicated based on how complicated you make it to be. diff folks diff strokes on their expenditure |

Pro tip, if you dump it into the EPF at this point it is like a high interest rate savings account. (use the interest to take care of inflation). If the number of years it can last will be more than a certain number, what do you think? Are you really sure you can outlive atok? Running around chasing rent, upkeep, taxes, sometimes doesn't really seem worth it. Unless you are planning to pass it down. |

Well different people have different standards & perception about "comfortable"
To some simple-not-fancy home cooked meals are comfy enough, while some consider fine dining lobster & wahyu as comfy Just like some real T20 dressed like B40 gang je |

QUOTE(soul78 @ Feb 13 2025, 07:50 PM) by 2030, gomen should start giving people option for euthanasia.... Agreecoz retirement will be a luxury for a select few only... rest would just need to work till they drop... We should go out on our own free will and not when we are dying of many disease. This also helps hospital to manage patient. For what go for treatment when u know your time is up Just go. Meanwhile, enjoy your time on earth as much as you can |
