How to save 10 million Pesos in 20 years for retirement in the Philippines


Getting ready for your retirement is one of the important things we should consider while our physical bodies are still strong to work. Saving for retirement takes great responsibility, discipline, and a positive attitude. For Filipinos working overseas abroad especially in North America - USA and Canada, or in other countries where extra money for savings is practical, Pinoys should take this opportunity to save (dapat samantalahin nating mag-ipon). The table and computation of savings below is very possible and realistic. If you manage to save $1000 (American or Canadian) per month consistently for 20 years, you will be able to save $240,000 Canadian or US dollars at the end of 20 years. This is approximately 10 million to 12 million Philippine Pesos depending on the exchange rate. If you are, for example 40 years old in the year 2014, based on the table below, you will have at least 10 million pesos in the year 2034, at which time you are 60 years old, ready for retirement. For an average style of livelihood and moderate cost of living, this retirement money sounds reasonable and livable when you retire in the Philippines with your loved ones. The sacrifice and hardwork is finished abroad overseas. Now, it is time to retire, relax, and enjoy your savings and your life!

Saving $1000 per month for 20 years:

1000 x 12 = 12,000 after 1 year

12,000 x 20 = 240,000 after 20 years

18   2031    57    216,000
19   2032    58    228,000
20   2033    59    240,000
---------------------------------------------------------------
21   2034    60  $240,000

 --> 10 million to 12 million Pesos
 -->    at age  60  (year is 2034)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
This table is based on Canadian and US Dollar exchange rates monetary conversion to Philippine Pesos.

*** These figures does not take into account interest rates. This is just for simple computation. For example, a savings account interest rate of 1% for a bank in the Philippines, and based on simple interest computation of $240,000 for 20 years, would yield $242,400 which is greater.
