I think I will stick with my spreadsheets and common sense...THE NUMBER is how much you need to live comfortably: very IMPORTANT as part 1 of Retirement Planning. (Average response to my thread is £26k pa)0 -
My own NUMBER is around 19 - 20k, based on living abroad (already have a place). I would not want as many holidays but have allowed around 4k for these plus coming back to UK a few times a year, hiring a car etc. Heating much lower (& not offset by air con costs in summer), would not be doing much mileage so less need to update car regularly etc. On the other hand I do want to be able to eat out when I choose etc.
If I was remaining in the UK & lived in an expensive area for housing I'd be inclined to downsize to release equity rather than have upkeep of a large house for use a few times a year. I'd sooner take the equity & pay for family to stay in a (reaonably priced) nearby hotel.
Thanks for feedback.
Now you have me thinking about a place in the sun again!
Are you in Spain? or where can you recommend?
Probably need to keep a UK base as well?
Good idea about the local B&B for relatives... it could work in many ways methinks!
You only have to look at energy costs in the winter months to realise what savings can be made by living abroad... but I think I would be concerned about frozen pipes etcTHE NUMBER is how much you need to live comfortably: very IMPORTANT as part 1 of Retirement Planning.
