What is considered as a state of Financial Unbreakability?

• A person will be considered to be in a state of financial unbreakability when their monthly Passive Income equates or exceeds their monthly Expenses.
  

• For example, if your monthly expenses (for housing, food, transportation, entertainment, etc) are $3,500

  • when your monthly passive income generated from your asset (ie from dividends) is => $3,500,

    • you would have achieved Financial Unbreakability.
      

Illustration example:

• Let's say for example you would need $3.7million to able to achieve financial unbreakability.

  • and this amount is invested in cashflow generating assets such as (bonds, fixed deposits, REITs, dividend stocks) that will generate 4% annual returns for you
    

  • the passive income amount it will generate on a monthly basis is $12,333.

    • formula: ($3.7 mill x 4%) / 12 months.
      

• Next, we will need to take Inflation into account

  • and for this, we can look at the past Consumer Price Index trend.

• United States' CPI increased at a CAGR of 3.5% in the past 74 years,

  • here are how other countries fare:

    • Singapore's CPI increased at a CAGR of 2.4% in the past 68 years.

    • Australia's CPI increased at a CAGR of 4.8% in the past 74 years.

    • Malaysia's CPI increased at a CAGR of 3.3% in the past 52 years.
      

• Say if you are a 30 year old adult today, and your desired age of retirement is at 62 years old (32 years later).
  

  • You will want to know how much money will have the same equivalent purchasing power as $3,500 today in 32 years time.

  • let us use an estimated inflation rate of 3.5% (based on the CPI CAGR figures collated above).
    

  • To do this, you will need to calculate the Future Value by using a formula like this = ($3,500 x (1+3.5%)^32) = $10,523.
    

    • this means $10,523 will have the equivalent purchasing power of $3,500 today in 32 years time.
      

• Thus, assuming all things constant, in 32 years time, with $3.7million worth of assets that can generate up to 4% returns per year ($12,333 per month), that will suffice to sustain a lifestyle for you that costs up to $3,500 per month today.
  

• Remember, everyone's financial journey and goals are different, you do not have to stick to the figures above, feel free to adjust where you see fit to suit yours.
