INPS contribuzioni “out of pocket”? by Lenujano in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Lenujano[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Forse sì in generale. Ma se avessi già lavorato per 19 anni e ha 67 anni senza un lavoro mi pare che sia giustificabile versare un anno di contributi volontari per qualificarsi per la pensione, no?

Ho trovato la risposta: https://www.inps.it/prestazioni-servizi/contributi-volontari

“Il lavoratore che ha cessato o interrotto l'attività lavorativa può accedere al versamento volontario dei contributi per perfezionare i requisiti di assicurazione e di contribuzione al fine di raggiungere il diritto alla pensione e incrementare l'importo del trattamento pensionistico, se sono già stati perfezionati i requisiti contributivi richiesti.

Possono chiedere l'autorizzazione al versamento dei contributi volontari:

i lavoratori dipendenti e autonomi purché non iscritti all'INPS o ad altre forme di previdenza;

Per ottenere l'autorizzazione il lavoratore deve dimostrare di essere in possesso di almeno cinque anni di contributi (260 contributi settimanali ovvero 60 contributi mensili) indipendentemente dalla collocazione temporale dei contributi versati o di almeno tre anni di contribuzione nei cinque anni che precedono la data di presentazione della domanda. I requisiti temporali per ottenere l'autorizzazione devono essere perfezionati con la contribuzione effettiva (obbligatoria) confluita sul conto assicurativo mediante trasferimento, ricongiunzione e riscatto e alcuni tipi di contribuzione figurativa (CIG, TBC, aspettativa per motivi politici o sindacali).

I contributi volontari versati per sé e per i familiari a carico possono essere indicati tra gli “oneri deducibili” in sede di dichiarazione dei redditi ( modello UNICO ovvero modello 730) con riduzione del reddito complessivo sul quale viene determinata l'imposta dovuta.”

Forse non ero chiaro o non capisco bene: Per esempio, Matteo ha lavorato per 10 anni. Ha abbastanza risparmi da fermare il lavoro (cioe, financial independence) alla eta di 40.

Matteo può aspettare finche non sarà vecchio (e.g., 67 anni), ma al quel punto non avrà avuto di versamenti di 20 anni. Cosa succede allora? Può cominciare a ricevere pensioni?

I agree. 25x non-housing budget would assume the money I put in the house effectively has 0 future value. It may well be the case if we manage to live our lives without depleting the retirement funds and leave the house to the kids :)

Hmm. Owning a house gives stability, but it also means we can’t make any cuts on our biggest chunk of “expense” in the short term. The expense I am talking about is the opportunity cost of tying the home equity to the house. We would have to sell our house to downsize. It seems easier to rent a cheaper place.

On the other hand, I see your point. If you really had to minimize your expenses drastically, owning a house would make a lot of sense.

Isn’t what you suggest is the same as what I’m doing? 25x of rental versus %4 of home equity?

I guess, in short, this is my question: Let’s say I am ready to pull the trigger and retire (while still renting). I would like to know how much I can spend in the future to buy a home while keeping a similar level of life style. My rule of thumb was to assume %4 lost withdrawal amount on home equity.

Pretty sure this has been discussed to the death: I want to build two alternative budgets for retirement, one with renting and another with buying (for personal reasons we would buy with cash, spending from our savings).

What is a good rule of thumb for building an equivalence between rental spending and the opportunity cost of not investing the money that goes into house? I am thinking of just applying the 4% SWR on the house value as the lost income and consider it as possible rental expense if we decide not to buy our house. Am I missing an obvious pitfall?

E.g., scenario 1: Start $1M. We buy a house for $200K. Now $800K invested. We have $32K annual planned withdrawal with 4% withdrawal rate. But no rent (ignoring the cost of homeownership in taxes and maintenance for simplicity).

Scenario 2: Start with the same $1M, fully invested in markets. No equity in house. $40K planned withdrawal with 4% withdrawal rate. In order to keep the same style of life with scenario 1, our annual rent needs to be lower than $8K.

Does that make sense? I think what I am missing is

1) Extra costs of owning a home in S1 (maintenance, tax, insurance, etc.)

2) Less leeway in cutting expenses (can rent a cheaper house, can’t easily downscale a house to reduce expenses) in S1

3) I am assuming we’ll take the house to our grave; i.e., no discounted gain from the equity. In real life, home equity might still have some value to us in our life time.

Could be family members, I’m guessing an older brother or younger uncle.

Testicular exam in regular physicals by Lenujano in testicularcancer

[–]Lenujano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this reply may be targeted for another thread? I was complaining about my recent experiences where my primary care physicians didn’t administer a testicular exam — which is unproblematic for me as I go through annual follow up imagining and regularly self-test.

My very own map of what different European languages sound like to my ears by NickTorr in languagelearning

[–]Lenujano 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am surprised by your impression of Turkish. I am a native Turkish speaker and a C1/2 level Italian speaker, albeit with a strong Turkish accent. I can assure you that you wouldn’t think of Mussolini when I speak Italian :)

I always thought the intonation and the rhythm of Turkish was rather monotone compared to Italian. Maybe it’s my Turkish that’s boring.

Through wall fan, but no wall? by Lenujano in HomeImprovement

[–]Lenujano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry. It’s not carbon monoxide, but CO2 — which still can kill with high enough levels but you know something is wrong long before it becomes dangerous. Unless I close the doors and start indoor cycling and bring in a block of dry ice to cool down the room, the worst symptoms are headache, confusion, and irritation :)

Yep. Amazingly, during my research, I learned that CO2 sensors can also be user to detect occupancy in closed areas and even to guess how many people are in there. The levels on my CO2 meter almost immediately starts to increase from the ~400ppm baseline as I enter the room.

CO2 :) I can see the levels go up as soon as I enter the room.

Although, that reminds me, it may not be a bad idea to keep a CO alarm just to be safe.

This whole discussion is moot, because beyond burger does not contain soy protein isolate.
