Can I add that make sure your personal accident plan ends off at an old age eg 90 years old. Many PA policy ends at 70 years old ..

[@joshconsultancy]

Yes agree. Which pa plan do you use?

[@FitAsAFiddle-f3g]

@@joshconsultancy Sompo has pastar that ends at 75, liberty has a low end one that ends at 79 (customized for financial alliance clients only). I was told Ntuc has a silver care policy but the coverage is not great. AIA has one that covers till 90 or 100 but it is expensive.

Die with too much is better than live with too little. To err at the cautious side is better and cant tell how long we will live or any rainy days will happen. Maybe u can share insight about whats the benefit for a deaccumulation plan

[@joshconsultancy]

Saw a JPmorgan report before on 80% of retirees still have their assets like 10y into retirement Fearful of consuming it down. It really is hard to overcome. Being frugal when there is little life needing to. Having a clear decumulation plan gives you confidence on what to use and spend away. Maybe a segregated pot

[@aliciateh6562]

Hi Josh, thanks for sharing on retirement, have learned a couple of good points. As for the will writing service, would you be able to share?

[@joshconsultancy]

Yes I do have a partner that I am comfortable referring to. I believe that their key value add is in the PLANNING ADVICE at an affordable rate of around $400. Hence dont just look at lowest priced will writing services because that may steer the work to completed hastily. If keen email to my assistant at [e-mail]. She'd guide you from there k

[@janicetan4626]

ISP will get too expensive after we hit above 60yo. I heard it may cost $10-15k a year. Is it justifiable for us to downgrade from high end plan (single ward in prviate hospital) to mid range (B ward in govt structured hospital) and remove the coverage for full riders? Can you talk about this in next video and how much we can save by downgrading ISP?

[@joshconsultancy]

Hi Janice, there will be savings downgrading for sure. As long as the cons are understood (such as lower limit, lower level ward level) it can be entertained. $10-$15k may seem expensive but an elderly with a chronic condition will easily claim above $50k. Ive seen it before. Focus on the value and budget it well for retirement, such costs are unavoidable =)

[@micTie7774]

Thank you for your video. Regarding the insurance part, i have retired and have no dependents, but my insurance agent kept recommending me to buy whole life plan to replace my existing plan which includes critical illnesses. Do you think this advice is good ?

[@joshconsultancy]

Hi Mich, no problems. Share the video to someone retired also who should see. I cannot advice on what to do specifically on the question above as it requires a full analysis and understanding of details. Having said that, my gut feeling is that the idea is unlikely a good one...

[@DexterWonderland]

Hi any LPA agent to recommend?

[@joshconsultancy]

We used a family doctor, cant recommend but there are many options out there to do the certification. Price they charge can vary and is a standard process imo so go with a lower cost one? LPA if not complex use form 1 and is quite simple actually. Get it done soon =)

Just one thing $$$ you need for retirement

[@jailanimerchant9764]

Can ordinary folks retire....

[@joshconsultancy]

Certainly because retirement amount is based on expenses. Take the right steps and be frugal. The equation can work 👌🏻👍

[@stiwrc2002]

Can I. Check I still owe $170k of hdb loan. Should I use cpf to clear off the loan.. however I need to sell off my cof unit trust investment of $250k. Now at -ve $23k. Should I keep the investment or sell off to pay the loan. Since housing loan interest rates is over 4%。 My agent told me to keep which I need a second opinion.

[@joshconsultancy]

Hi, unfortunately I cannot advice here. The first step is to see if can refi to fixed rates which is around 3.1%. Taking losses on investment to pay off loan is hard to justify

[@Twodaae]

Purpose of investing is to "make money" so if given the same situation, I will NEVER take a loss on investment just to pay off another debt/loan. Either you reprice or you refinance to a lower interest rate package (as mentioned by Josh) or you just conitnue to pay the current rate, and hope your other investments can gather enough profits to cover the interest charged onto your home loan. Not a financial expert but this is my 2c. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

[@fatcat4.0]

Thanks *Josh* for making and sharing this content about retirement. He is right that too many people under consume their money and die with too much. Decumulation plan is as important as accumulation plan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *For every dollars you earned, you had definitely made some sacrifices (time, efforts and relationships). By not spending each dollar, you are disregarding the value of your sacrifices.*

[@joshconsultancy]

100%! 👍

[@learninvestearnsave]

This decumulation is less talked about as most ppl have difficulty even accumulating enough. But you're right that is also as important.

[@joycegoh8628]

New term that I learnt - thank you for this! Decumulation hardly mentioned because it’s more of a personal “loss” if we don’t get to enjoy the fruits of our hard work, not a social problem nor Govt concern. Agree with under consumption of $, probably brought on by the fact that we all don’t know when we will die, so many take the conservative approach. Key is to take a balanced approach, need to reward ourselves.
