Retirement In Manila


Recommended Posts

- A business that brings in a steady income plus at least 10M in time deposit (liquid asset na rin in times of emergency).

- Sariling bahay para iwas sa rent, and a car for mobility.

- Health and property insurance, since a single bout of misfortune could make you lose your fortune instantly.

Haha napaka exagge naman ng iba dito. are u gonna buy a house every 3 years or something. Remember if you retire by 65, you got THE MOST 30 yrs to live lalo na u live in a polluted city like manila...ookay maybe more sa iba, pero majority less than 30 talaga.

 

anyway, IMO, mga 10 mill in the bank term deposited, tapos business that brings in around 60k a month okay na. ung iba dito parang kala mo ayala zobel :lol: OA nio relax naman kayo sa amounts! hehe

40M with a business that brings in 100-150k/month income is already fine in manila...otherwise nakkatakot mag retire...maconfine alone sa st lukes will run in the thousands na!

I know a number of people living in makati, most of whom are senior citizens, losing a cool $1M or so in the US stockmarket...yun nga lang they no longer have those millions for retierment but it used to be a reality for these people...aim for the stars and if you fall, you fall on the roof, not the ground hehe

Several assumptions need to be taken into account to make the postings here comparable.

 

According to definition, "retire" means to stop from work. That to me means any self-businesses that you have have to "work" for to manage means not retirement. It's simply a change in business ownership whereas before you work for someone else but now you work for your own. But it is still work and you are not yet retired.

 

All that to say, the amount one has saved must be enough to sustain one's self upon retirement. Chi mentioned a very good estimate of 30 years of longevity after the legal retirement age of 65.

 

Of course, another assumption one has to make here is what base year the retirement will come. Obviously if a person posting here is 65 years old, then his retirement amount will be based on today's current prices. But a kid posting here may be looking at 35 year's prices down the road. Ergo, it is very possible that someone's Php10M and another's Php40M may be equal if they were converted to the same base year.

 

Another assumption should be that one's retirement amount is exclusive of outstanding debts. This is because an amount of Php10M without debt and an amount of Php40M with Php30M debt is the same.

 

So the question is, excluding debts, how much would you need to sustain yourself for 30 years if you were to retire using base year 2009 prices ?

 

My answer to this is Php10M.
