How Much Savings Will Bring You Inner Peace?
The primary reason people work and invest is to accumulate more wealth and have more savings.
After all, we cannot work our whole lives, and we need to plan ahead for unforeseen circumstances or our dreams. Some people dream of traveling the world or buying a big house.
Some say it's $500,000.
When you have $500,000 in savings, this can cover most types of necessities, serving as a guarantee for your life.
Others say it's $1,000,000.
If you deposit $1 million into the Tiger Vault $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ and receive an annual interest of around 5%, which is $50,000, it can cover the costs of your holiday travels.
So, what's your goal?
Or how much savings can make you feel very calm and confident to face life's crises?

Personally, I set a goal of 1.5 mil SGD which might be comfortable for me after my retirement life 😜.
If you're into personal finance at all, you should know about the common 50/30/20 rule when it comes to our expenditures.
As a rule of thumb, 50% of your income should go to your needs like food, groceries and transport, while a maximum of 30% should go to your wants, which you don't need but might be good to have. The remaining 20% should go to your savings.
Being in your 20s is all about self-exploration and experimenting with which career path you’ll want to pursue. Though your starting pay will probably be a lot lower than another person in their 30s, it is time to build a solid emergency fund for yourself.
When you're in your 30s, this is the juncture where you might be taking on the most financial commitments. Whether it's getting a house, planning for a wedding or trying for a baby, all these milestone events will most likely happen during this phase and dip into your savings pot a lot.
This might shake up your savings quite a bit, and it might be unrealistic for some to still maintain the same level of savings. But with that said, you should never drain your entire savings on these costly necessities. Even if you have enough saved up to pay for these costs.
In your 40s, you're probably set in your career and probably in the prime years when your salary is at its peak. But you might belong to the second camp too, considering a career change after pursuing the same industry for the past 20 years.
At your 50s, Retirement is just around the corner. Savings is really more important than ever. You shouldn't focus on too many investment products where your money is locked up, especially in high-risk investments.
This is when you should relook at your investment strategy and focus more on shorter-term products that are much safer. You should also focus on your savings and build them up bit by bit for retirement.
Last but not least, savings should not be an age-specific goal. It's unhealthy to focus on age. Ultimately, your savings goal should be a dollar amount and not an age. Whether you want to make reference to average personal savings rate or the 50/30/20 rule, you shouldn't follow it like it's the law. Always make sure the rate at which you're saving is sustainable according to your financial goals and current financial situation. How do you think?

I’ve saved extremely hard and achieved a mortgage free home in a city which is now ranked as the 47th most expensive city in the world to live in. Obviously the amount of savings that brings inner peace varies from person to person based on their financial goals, lifestyle, and circumstances. Some individuals may feel more comfortable with a larger emergency fund or additional savings for specific goals like retirement or major purchases. It's essential to assess your own situation and financial needs to determine the right amount of savings for your peace of mind.

What about you friends? @daz88888888 @LMSunshine @melson @Bonta @GoodLife99 @SirBahamut [Grin]
I learnt about the 25x rule of thumb recently. the aim is to save 25x of one's annual living expenses to be financially secure in retirement. For example, if your annual expenses are $50,000, according to the 25x rule, you'd need to save $1.25 million ($50,000 x 25) to comfortably retire.
This amount can cover emergencies, such as medical expenses, unexpected job loss, or economic downturns, and provide a cushion for retirement planning.
It can also give me the freedom to make lifestyle choices without worrying about financial constraints. [Miser]

我在人生的不同阶段设定个人目标。由于我以前做地区工作，我几乎存了70%的工资。
直到有一天，一位理财顾问和我坐在一起，我才真正记录了自己的财富。我列出了我能想到的一切。但是我忘记了我的ESPP。我试图出售美国股票，以避免遗产税，如果我撕裂。
我曾经是一个保守的人，无论有什么方法可以减少所得税，我都会分一杯羹。捐赠计划，SRS，补充我的公积金或捐款等。
如果你有一个可靠的、组织良好的退休计划，你就不必给它定价。当一个晴朗的日子，你坐下来列出你所有的物品时，你会对这个数量感到震惊。你会震惊的！这是我三年前做这个练习时发生的事情。开心问题！
