Description

Singapore’s latest Household Expenditure Survey says retirees spend about $1,384 a month. But is that really enough?

With longer lifespans, rising costs, and evolving CPF rules, retirement planning has never been more important. In this episode, we unpack retirement expenses across income levels, the impact of inflation, and how CPF LIFE payouts and retirement sums (BRS, FRS, ERS) translate into monthly income. Plus, hear real stories from retirees on stretching their dollars and get practical tips to boost your CPF savings.

Whether you want a basic or comfortable lifestyle, this guide helps you plan smarter for financial independence in Singapore.

This podcast episode is brought to you in collaboration with CPF.
