Unless you are willing to spend the rest of your life on the poverty line, you will need a strategy for the future. In round figures, retirees seeking a 'moderate' lifestyle need approximately $59,000 pa per couple to live on. Assuming you retire at 65 and live to 80, you will need a lump sum of around $300,000 if you assume that earnings are at 4%pa. (i.e. low risk) and you and your spouse receive the full age pension. That also assumes you are debt free.

Ultimately, you might think he lives in a better dwelling, bu you also have to look at overall living standard.
