專家提醒,如果夫妻晚年年齡差距較大,退休後可能造成財務上的麻煩。

晚年伴侶之間存在年齡差距並不罕見,但這可能會導致經濟上的困境。外媒《Which?》報導,年齡差距較大的夫妻在退休時應避免的5個錯誤。專家提醒,如果夫妻晚年年齡差距較大,就會造成財務上的麻煩。

根據英國國家統計局 (ONS) 的數據,大約十分之三的已婚夫婦和三分之一的同居伴侶的年齡差距為五年或以上。金融服務公司AJ Bell指出,如果夫妻一方先退休或需要意外護理,就會出現問題。AJ Bell個人理財主管莎拉·科爾斯表示:年齡只是一個數字,但如果夫妻晚年年齡差距較大,就會造成財務上的麻煩。

如果您和伴侶年齡差距較大,為了順利退休,須注意以下五個需要避免的財務錯誤。

1. 沒有為首次退休做好預算

身為夫妻,你們應該計劃好,當其中一人退休時,你們的收入和支出會是多少。年齡差距較大的伴侶可能會出現一方退休而另一方已年過五十的情況。您也需要提前規劃,以便他們在接近退休時能夠逐步減少工作時間。因此,較年輕的一方可能需要承擔更多家庭開支,而你也可能需要重新檢視目前的消費習慣。預算應用程式可以幫助你做好規劃。

2. 未將護理成本納入考量

夫妻其中一人退休後可能需要護理,而護理費用可能非常高昂,並且可能會佔用年輕一方的工作時間。在家接受護理的費用取決於需要的護理等級和選擇的護理提供者,以在英國為例,至少需要支付每小時34英鎊的最低費用。如果他們需要搬進養老院,費用會更高。

3. 沒有為死亡做好準備

應該事先做好計劃,以防最壞的情況發生,例如其中一人意外去世。首先,確保您已立好遺囑。

如果夫妻中年齡較大的一方享有固定收益退休金,通常會有配偶福利,一般會向在世一方支付退休金的一半。請注意,有些法律規定,如果在伴侶去世後再婚,那麼您將失去福利。

4. 如果想一起退休,卻沒有為提早退休做好預算。

如果你們打算一起退休,儘管年齡差距很大,但這要意味著你們其中一人要比原計劃工作更長時間,或意味著另一人要很早就退休。無論哪種情況,你都需要做好充分的規劃,以確保所有預算都安排妥當。

為了應對緊急情況,務必在儲蓄帳戶中留有一筆應急資金。一般來說,至少要存夠三到六個月的開銷。如果你們其中一人決定提前退休,就需要計算一下在國家退休金開始生效之前,你們需要活多久才能領取到退休金。

請記住,如果提前退休,您可能會面臨退休後資金短缺的風險,而且由於提前動用儲蓄,您未來能夠繳納退休金的金額也會受到嚴重限制。

5. 沒有考慮退休後撫養子女的成本

夫婦生育子女的年齡持續增加;根據英國國家統計局的數據,2025年有1126名嬰兒出生時父親年齡超過60歲,比2023年增加了五分之一。

在子女尚處於學齡期時退休意味著您可以投入更多時間陪伴他們,但也伴隨著財務負擔。您需要仔細規劃如何依靠退休金收入來撫養子女。

您可能還需要考慮人壽保險,不僅是為年紀較大的一方,也為夫妻中較年輕的一方。如果父母在孩子還需撫養時去世,老人就必須靠養老金來贍養孩子。如果你70多歲突然成為單親父母,你也可能需要經濟支持,而這些支持往往需要花費不少錢。
