Very basic retirement calculator.

[roamer]

Just 5 boxes to fill in,clear the figures already in there,
then put in your own needs/expectations.
Works best in US$ but not essential.

Does at least show the devestating effect of inflation
on a fixed lump sum but is IMO flawed as it assumes you just stick your money in CDs/Savings Deposit accounts as opposed
to a mix of shares and/or property and Deposit accounts.

Doesn`t allow for state or private pension income either.

not even going to look at it until the market stabilizes....most US retirement funds, IRA'z tied closely to mutual funds which have all lost 15-20% this year.....too depressing to think about or look at.

I'll check again in Obama plus 2 yearz:cheers:


but......it doesn't stop me from thinking about a LOS retirement.....bare minimum needed to live in LOS and still have a bit of fun is 90k baht.....per month.

90k a month is way too high tommie. First just get your ass over to :patters:.

Then when your dough runs out, start eating lots of the grilled pork-on-a-stick from the street cooks until you get the inevitable shits.

:shit:_ :toilet: _ :shit:

Step 3 is you throw on a diaper, check into the hospital and take your picture when the nappy is soiled.

Finally, I'll start a charity drive for you on this board.

Who loves ya tommie?! :cheers:
