1 ManuRetire Secure (I) Secure Your Income for Your Golden Years

2 Are You Prepared For Your Retirement? 1Will your CPF be enough to sustain your desired lifestyle during retirement? The CPF Minimum Sum provides for a basic standard of living in retirement. For a male member turning 55 in 2012 who has set aside the full Minimum Sum, he can get about S$1,100 a month from age 65 for as long as he lives if he joins CPF LIFE 1. As a rule of thumb, you will need to have a post retirement income of two-thirds your last drawn salary to continue a similar lifestyle during your retirement. 2Will healthcare costs be a burden in your retirement? The elderly require a higher intensity of medical care. Studies have shown that they are about 4 times more likely to be hospitalised than younger Singaporeans. They are also likely to stay longer once hospitalised 2. With rising healthcare costs, you may need to spend a higher percentage of your retirement income in your old age on healthcare than the general population. 3Will you outlive your resources? Singaporeans are living longer. On average, a 65-year-old man can expect to live to age 83 3 and a 65-year-old woman to age Is inflation eroding your purchasing power? Cost of living in Singapore continues to rise with full year inflation rate in 2013 expected to be between 2% 4 and 3% 4. 5 Can your investment strategy weather an economic downturn? Severe market downturns can wipe out your hard-earned savings and negatively impact your retirement lifestyle.
