How Much Savings Will Bring You Inner Peace?

The primary reason people work and invest is to accumulate more wealth and have more savings. After all, we cannot work our whole lives, and we need to plan ahead for unforeseen circumstances or our dreams. Some people dream of traveling the world or buying a big house. $100,000, $500,000 or $1,000,000? What's your goal? How much savings can make you feel calm and confident to face life's crises?

I think inner peace is not measured by how much savings you have.Maybe it is due to my stressful job,I wanted to retire 6-7 years ago.Hence,I started my retirement plan at a young age. I set personal goals at various stage of my life.As I used to do regional role,i saved almost 70% of my salary. I didnโ€™t really keep track of my wealth until one day a financial advisor sat down with me.i listed whatever I could think of.But I forgotten about my ESPP.The US stocks I am trying to sell to avoid estate tax in the event,I RIP. I used to be a conservative person and whatever method is available to reduce income tax,I would have a share in it.Endowment plan,SRS,top up my CPF or donations etc. If you have a solid and well organised retirement plan,you do not have to put a price to it.You will b

Goal is to reach financial freedom. Although currently aiming for at least financial independence. Personally thought that having $2mil in a 4% environment would be nice.

Based on a yearly expenditure of 60k, and a 4% gain in dividends, $1.5 mil would give me somewhat a better peace of mind. However this is a simple linear thinking as it does not include potential curve balls from life, including dependants, and luxuary travels. So save and invest more fellow Tigers!

The โ€˜goldโ€™ standard in singapore is at least a million dollars if it is for retirement. For rainy days, the typical advice is at least 3 to 6 months of expense. This of course can vary. For me, I have 2 elderly parents to provide for. So, i would prefer to have 1 full year of salary to provide for myself, my dependents and rainy days for my dependents too. At the same time, i continue to invest and save for retirement. As with most kiasu Singaporeans, itโ€™s about accumulating as much as possible to allow for both quality of life and for crazy rainy days. With the current inflation, 1 million is probably an old target. 1.5-2million is more likely the sum with both inflation and increased life span (yet not wanting to work all life)

*how much savings can make you feel very calm and confident to face life's crises?* I learnt about the 25x rule of thumb recently. the aim is to save 25x of one's annual living expenses to be financially secure in retirement. For example, if your annual expenses are $50,000, according to the 25x rule, you'd need to save $1.25 million ($50,000 x 25) to comfortably retire.
