When you retire, live like you are broke. Even when you have sufficient funds to last you for 25 years or more. Just live  like you have funds to last you only a month to prolong the buffer 🤣

Thats why i cap my monthly household expense to $15k max.  Live simple

Yeah we export inflation into JB and if you believe in equilibrium theory, JB cost will sooner or later be the same as Singapore [laugh]

We shall all suffer together. 

I don't believe 😭 n equilibrium theory.

So far no rich man money has flowed to a poor man like me 

I believe in unequilibrium theory.

Poor man money keeps flowing to rich man's pockets.

Still need to take into account inflation.. someone who can do with $2k/mth will need $3k/mth, $4k/mth, $5k/mth down the road.. 

If 2k in context without considering inflation is doable now. My aunt takes 1.7kpm from cpf. She has her owning savings, stocks, shares and dividend as well but she don't touch them. She say 1.7k more than enough. 

And she is not those stay at home all the time kind and she usually eat outside food. So depends on your lifestyle.

i think $2k per mth is ok provided all the big ticket items are off loaded...i.e House, car, insurance, medication...and paying for kids uni fees...

then 2k for daily necessities is really enuff,....how much can 1 eat...eat cai png everyday also jelak....like me now, this week got a few dinner meeting and makan, now i just take fruits for lunch for the past 2 days and cost me $1.60...:grin:

so i would say 2k is really enuff...for pple like me that eat at hawker ctr ......

Yesterday, I was right at the end of a queue which was even longer than the above pic.   Waited for like 5 min and the queue didn't move.  

So decided to forget it.  I went upstairs to the Malaysia Chiak food court  and plenty of seats there. 😄
