Video Overview
The writer and her husband run a small shop that nets about RMB 250,000 a year. Annual household spending is roughly RMB 150,000, and they currently have RMB 400,000 invested. Expenses include tuition, insurance, social-security contributions for self-employed workers, and daily living costs. Insurance for the family costs about RMB 20,000 a year, of which critical-illness coverage accounts for approximately RMB 18,000; they have paid it for six years. The writer worries that cancelling the policy could leave the business and regular investing exposed if either spouse becomes seriously ill. She also hopes to build enough assets in 15 years to fund RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000 of annual spending. The speaker proposes cancelling the critical-illness policy and models a retirement threshold of at least RMB 9 million, beginning with about RMB 550,000 and adding RMB 100,000 each year. Insurance protection, investment returns, and retirement outcomes require case-specific review.
