看見用戶的“$500萬才退休”就生氣,還讓我們窮苦人活不活了!

(2011-06-26 06:19:02) 下一個
用戶上來就狂砸$300萬,說在曼哈頓買公寓。這這這這這有點過分了吧。曼哈頓的公寓裏,有幾個老中啊。所以說,用戶說的一點兒都沒有代表性,純粹是異類。

如果我退了休,投奔祖國無門,被迫在美國養老,下麵是最一般的生活消費預算:

沒有房貸車貸等一切貸款的情況下,每月:

衣:

很簡單很簡單的,一般非削價不買,平均到每月:$100-200/兩人

食:

很簡單很簡單,基本自己做飯,偶爾上便宜餐館(一周一兩次),每月:$400-600

住:

應該已經付清的小房子,供我平常打牌,請客。沒房貸,但每月房屋保險$100-200(看房子豪華程度)。房屋維修,平均每月$100。地產稅,$300-500。

行:

沒車貸,每月汽油$100-300,保險$30-200

此外,

日常消耗性用品:$200
手機, 電視,上網,$200
電費, 水費,煤氣,平均每月$500。
草坪護理,$100
社區管理費,$100 - 150
下雪請小工,平均到每月裏:$50
每月請一次客,因為年紀大了,要請人來服務,所以:$200-300,
年紀大了,醫療保險要買的好一些,在加上自己付的那部分錢,$1000-1500。
如果每年出去旅遊兩次,年紀大了,要買好一些的服務,所以,每年$8000-10000/兩人,合每月$800。

這樣,合每月$4500-5500的花銷,也就是說,每年花費$5-6萬。

以65歲退休計,女的比較長壽,活到85歲,一共20年。在沒有通貨膨脹的情況下,要$100-120萬。

另外,20年的退休生活,要買兩輛車。買車家保養,再加$10萬吧。還要$5-15萬自己埋了自己,再有點兒機動靈活的錢,所以,在現有的紙錢不太貶值,物價漲得不太離譜的前提下,有$200-300萬夠了

以上是退休計劃。

林韻 回複 悄悄話 補充一點:在美國自己埋了自己費用不高的,普通的幾千刀大概就夠了吧
林韻 回複 悄悄話 這帳算得不錯,省得自己再用腦盤算了~~
nightrose 回複 悄悄話 現在平均年齡不斷增長,女性很快就可以活到90歲了
bizbidder 回複 悄悄話 You did not count in social security benefits for both of you, and interest/investment income. For such a living standard, not much money to leave to your kids, you only need 1 to 2 MM in saving and retirement plans. But again, cost can be higher.
slow_quick 回複 悄悄話 回複slow_quick的評論:
dey earlier => die earlier
slow_quick 回複 悄悄話 "Honey, if we work longer and dey earlier, we might be able to make do with our 401Ks"
qsnfj 回複 悄悄話 To add the following:

inevitably, health will go downhills, you will need personal care services, somebody who eithe lives there or come by during the day, to do cooking, light cleaning, and help get grocery etc. that is $2000 a month, at least.

-then transportation, with health declining, mind not as alert, vision not as good, driving may be dangerous. you may need transportation service at certain point to take you to the doctors, to the banks, to airport and to run some other errands.. at least 200 a month or more..

if one has to go to nursing home for intensive care, 24/7, that could be costly, if your medicare doesn't cover the 100% cost, or if you go to a privately owned facility with good services, you may need to spend a lot out of pocket..



吭個老倌 回複 悄悄話 問題是, 七老八十的, 還能 一直幹下去?
吭個老倌 回複 悄悄話 紙錢不太貶值,物價漲得不太離譜: With O8, it is a piper dream now. Note: I voted for him.
rbrt 回複 悄悄話 看來隻有一直幹下去了。
