Budden if you’re single and have your own transport, your minimum budget jumps quite a bit. We’re wondering what car/vehicle this figure is based on.

If you’re a married couple without kids, the minimum expense calculation according to the budget is RM4,420 (about RM2,210 per person?). This is less per person than the RM2,490 needed if you’re single, assuming couples share some of the costs of living together.

For elderly couples whose kids have spread their wings and flown away, the guide estimates minimum expenses of RM3,090. Assuming you retire at age 55 and want to die at 75, that means you would need savings of... RM741,600. And we haven’t even included inflation yet. 💸

EPF assumes the “minimum expenses” are what ugaiz would need to: 1. Afford basic needs 2. Have a social life 3. Live a meaningful life They put together this guide based on surveys, focus groups, and gomen data.
