My friend recently shared with me a new and simple way of calculating if you have enough to SAY F U BOSS. Not the usual unrealistic and too low level like 2 years of emergency funds and so on...This is the real F U Money

Basically like this:

X : Your Age
Y: Annual Salary/12

F U MONEY = (65 -X)*12*Y

Assuming retire at 65 Years Old.
Assuming no more increment.
Assuming you still have housing loan which you will service till 65 yo.

So for example:

X, Age: 40
Y, Salary: $200000 / 12 = $16666

F U MONEY = 25*12*16666 = $4999800 = $5m

Conclusion: The amount of REAL F U MONEY you need to have NOW is the amount of SALARY you would have earned from NOW to 65yo. If you already have this amount, that is TRUE F U!

Age 65 is determined by govt on when you can use your retirement account.

Why be determined by govt. Why not ask for earlier payout.

Why not work till 45 will do

I believe is meant to be ballpark figure.

Essentially, if you have access to liquid cash or stocks (excluding residential) that is equal to your remaining salaries to be earnt, then hoseh liao

Dear undiscern,

You forgotten you already F yourself with a high mortality rate when you jab yourself years ago.

When mortality rate is high, the formula and math is not relevant.

Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let's take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.
