This data shows that a better focus on for an initial finances in pension will be about 80% – 85% of one’s pre-retirement spending levels, if your goal is to displace your pre-retirement living criteria around. Therefore, you may wish to categorize your spending in a manner similar to that shown in the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) table for purposes of determining a more reasonable spending target and determining whether you are able to retire.
The third key point from this table is that spending appears to decrease in real terms as we age after retirement. The CES study data above and data from other research suggest that spending does not keep speed with inflation as we age. While certain types of expenses may remain constant in real dollars, or even increase (like health care), total real buck spending appears to decline with age. For the Actuarial Budget Benchmark (ABB), we recommend using a lifetime planning period (LPP) developed using the 25% possibility of survival from the look Horizon portion of the Actuaries Longevity Illustrator assuming excellent health, non-smoker mortality.
If you know about medical issues (or you are a smoker), you may desire to use average health or a shorter, more realistic, LPP to develop your spending budget. Many retirees want to visit and have that as you of their spending goals in pension. However, you may not want to visit as much if you are in your 80s as when you initially retire. If you are married, you should think about what will happen to sources of income and spending after the death of your spouse (presuming you survive). Some expenses might remain constant and some may be reduced.
As we’ve previously discussed, if you are spending the budget determined under the Actuarial Approach and you are upping your LPP as you age to determine such budget, it is likely that you’ll die with assets remaining. As a result, you may be “doubling up” to a certain level, by inputting a particular degree of desired amount remaining at the ultimate end of the LPP.
