Unsure about Singapore, I aim

Unsure about Singapore, I aim to save $3.8mil & withdraw 4% annually to have a basic retirement in NZ. With an estimated annual income of $150k, this allows us to live comfortably.

*The Idea:* Withdraw 4% of retirement savings annually to cover living expenses, without depleting portfolio over time

*Assumptions:*
- Retirement savings are invested in a diversified portfolio, such as a mix of stocks & bonds
- The portfolio generates returns, such as dividends, interest & capital gains
- withdraw 4% of the initial portfolio value each year, adjusted for inflation

*Benefits:*
- Provides stable income stream
- Allows us to maintain a consistent lifestyle
- Can help us plan expenses

*Caveats:*
- The 4% rule is based on historical data & may not perform well in all market conditions
- may need to adjust withdrawal rate based on individual circumstances, such as market performance or changes in expenses
- It's essential to review & adjust retirement plan regularly

S$550K vs S$1.87M: 3x Gap! How Much Do You Really Need?

Previously, we discussed $DBS(D05.SI)$ Bank’s suggestion that S$550,000 is needed to retire in Singapore “S$550K to Retire in SG: Have You Planned Your FIRE Number?” and many tigers shared your own investment and savings plans for retirement. But now, a new report from $HSBC Holdings PLC(HSBC)$reveals that wealthy individuals in Singapore believe they need S$1.87 million to enjoy a “comfortable retirement.” To retire peacefully in Singapore, ordinary folks need to save S$550K, while the wealthy feel they need S$1.87 million. That’s a staggering difference — over three times more!
