I have low cost healthcare because I'm 1/8 indigenous. |
Date: June 7th, 2025 8:24 PM Author: Jet-lagged pearl toilet seat I plan on retiring on approximately 8K/month with no mortgage. If you can't retire with six figures yearly, debt free, you're doing something seriously wrong. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734705&forum_id=2...id.#48995603) |

Date: June 7th, 2025 8:26 PM Author: Chestnut Out-of-control Stag Film I turn 49 next week, and I'm done with it all.
Hopefully retirement amount will go up when I turn 62, if SS is still a thing. I don't know how, but I think I've maed it. Frugal inceldom for the W. |

If you have good insurance you should be ok. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734705&forum_id=2...id.#48995632) |

I have Health insurance as part of my job but never go to doctors.. so they pay for nothing.. I'm thinking of going 1099. Could I rely on just going abroad for Healthcare? Like malaysia?

Date: June 8th, 2025 11:45 AM Author: Heady shitlib menage health insurance is basically for
a. pre-negotiated rates. if you're a cash payer, the first bill you get will be based on the hospital's outrageous book rate for a procedure.
b. catastrophic coverage. if you have to go for surgery, cancer, etc the bills, based on those inflated rate cards, will take almost anyone into bankruptcy |

Date: June 8th, 2025 11:50 AM Author: 180 blue address trump supporter Yeah I know that. In countries like Malaysia you get A+ insurance/hospital for 1/10 the price. So if you're going to retire why not pick a country like Malaysia for your health home. You just happen to be fucked if you get a heart attack while in usa. But then you're fucked anyway. Most people don't really survive a heart attack. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734705&forum_id=2...id.#48996702) |

Expected total monthly expenses in retirement? |
|
Date: June 7th, 2025 9:24 PM Author: Chestnut Out-of-control Stag Film Current monthly expenses are about $3,500-4,000. I eat out a lot, and if I were retired, I'd probably cook more often. No wife or kids
I think I'll travel more, averaged out over the course of the year, I think my budget would be 6,000/mo. I'm trying to find reasons not to retire and I'm shooting blanks.
I'll probably golf more, or maybe find some new hobbies. |
