STORY & REFLECTION
Life after the last paycheck
Guidance-based illustration · Life after the last paycheck
Illustrative scene: A middle-aged worker says they want a comfortable retirement but has never added up housing, travel, and care costs after the final paycheck.
They estimate several spending scenarios, review savings, work benefits, and possible income, then see a gap to address gradually. The first change is sized to what is affordable now.
The Bank of Thailand advises estimating retirement expenses, reviewing savings and benefits, and checking the gap while there is time. Plans need to fit each person's income and obligations.
Retirement planning begins with a life and its resources, not an abstract number.
