📖 Retirement Cost Factors

How much do expenses drop in retirement?

Typically basic living expenses drop to 70-80% of pre-retirement levels. Commuting, work attire, and meals out decrease, but healthcare and leisure may increase. The common rule of thumb is 80% of pre-retirement spending.

Impact of inflation on retirement

Inflation dramatically affects retirement planning. At 3% inflation, purchasing power halves in about 24 years. $4,000/month today would need ~$10,500 in 30 years to maintain the same lifestyle.
