You have a corporate pension starting today, and a government pension starting in 10 years. These are inflation indexed and jointly provide approx. a median income. That’s double what you spend today, which is probably largely discretionary as the home is paid off (but post a detailed case study to be sure). So…
I’d say no matter what happens, you’ll be fine.
Thanks - I might do a more detailed case study later but that might complicate the case more than needed. Certainly because this is an international forum.
You're right about the governments mandates regarding isolating my own home and arranging heat pumps. Low interest loans are already available and isolating is subsidized. Still adds costs.
I am not sure if the government pension is still the same when I am 67. I find it hard to look further into the future than 5 years. Things can change very quickly in these times.
Most of the young adults in the Netherlands expect they will not enjoy the same benefits as previous generations. Our population is aging, and AOW is paid by the younger folks that still work. I don't think the current system is sustainable.
This is one of the reasons I am slightly hesitant to retire full time even though I consider myself FI.
