My husband and I are in our early 30’s and we want to retire in 12 years. Here’s the assumption I came up with exclusive of foreign exchange rates.

Education expenses – 20% annual increase
Cost of living – 6% annual increase
Current investments – 10% annual yield

If we can beat the assumptions above, we can live comfortably into our 80’s, be able to send our son to a good school (preferably Ateneo), and not have to work.

Do you guys think the assumptions are conservative enough?
