    潮流興講live young,隨著現代醫學科技突飛猛進以及營養的改善,人均壽命越來越長,在過去多年,香港人一直高踞「長壽榜」頭幾名。現在,活到100歲並不稀奇,所以剛退休的人士不過是young old (年輕老人),雖然不算最young,但絕對可以live young,活出精彩人生下半場。

    當然有人說,退休時已經不算young,可以怎樣live young?關鍵就是擁有「身體」和「財務」兩方面的健康。

    不過,醫療成本急速上升,這是全球共同面對的大趨勢,根據Willis Towers Watson《2024年全球醫療趨勢調查報告》,全球於2024年預計的醫療費用增幅約為10%,而香港則約為8%。

    在香港,公院服務供不應求,承受著日益沉重的負擔,而私院的醫療費用亦與醫療通脹同步。市民萬一患病而要尋求醫治,該如何是好?

    不少在職人士都會依賴僱主提供的團體醫保,但團體醫保一般只提供基本的保障,如住院的話,可能只可補貼部分開支。況且,當遇上轉工、失業或退休,醫療保障就有機會出現「空窗期」,身體一旦遇上突發情況就可能令當事人大失預算。

    因此,約三成在職人士同時享有團體醫保及購買個人醫療保險,以加強健康保障;而政府推動的自願醫保計劃成為不少市民的選擇,2022年的保單數目已突破百萬張。

    自願醫保保證續保至100歲,並不設「終身保障限額」,無論健康狀況出現任何改變,都保證續保。市場上有一些計劃保障投保時未知的已有病症而毋需等候期,亦有一些全數賠償實際醫療開支,不設個別項目限額的計劃,投保人可以盡取這些自願醫保的優勢為自己健康護航。

    自願醫保的另一大特色,便是稅務扣除優惠,投保人可為自己及任何指明親屬投保所繳的保費用作扣稅,而每名受保人每課稅年度享有最高 8,000 港元的保費扣除額。

    提起稅務扣除優惠,不可不提合資格延期年金保單(俗稱「扣稅年金」)。就像文章開首指出,退休不是終點,反而是新生活的起點。因此,不少在職人士都在學習「先儲未來錢」,以足夠的儲備來規劃豐盛的退休生活。

    強積金無疑是個有助規劃退休的儲蓄方案,但卻可能不夠支持「您」想的退休生活。政府於2019年推出扣稅年金,除鼓勵市民為退休生活作更多的財務規劃,以應對未來的長壽風險,更為每名納稅人於每個課稅年度提供最高60,000港元的稅務寬減。

    在「儲蓄為未來」的前題下,很多在職人士均懂得善用扣稅年金,截至2023年2月,市場上已繕發了超過23萬份扣稅年金。

    投保人可運用扣稅年金每月自製長糧,於在職時定期繳付保費,退休時便可將儲蓄轉化為穩定的現金流。投保時除了留意計劃的供款期、累積期及年金期外,亦可留意計劃的保證回本期,令財務規劃更有預算。如供款期完結後仍未退休,可以考慮再買另一份年金計劃,繼續享有稅務扣除優惠,直至真正退休為止。

    稅務扣除優惠當然吸引,要live young最重要的是我們作好周全的準備,以健康的財務狀況,來面對不斷增長的醫療費用及長壽風險,令「長壽」成為「享受」,真正做到「歲歲擁卓越」、「月月有年金」,live young is possible!
