「貯金500万円しかないけど老後が不安…」50代からでも間に合う“老後資金の備え方”ン

子どもの教育費が思った以上にかかり、「老後のための貯金が気づけば500万円だけ…」という悩みを抱える方は少なくありません。子育てが一段落する50代は、老後資金の準備に本格的に向き合うタイミングでもあります。

「もう遅いのでは?」と不安になるかもしれませんが、今からでも十分にできる対策があります。本記事では、現状を見つめながら、50歳からでも間に合う老後資金の準備方法をご紹介します。

50代の平均貯金額はどれくらい?

まずは、ご自身の資産状況が他の家庭と比べてどうなのかを確認してみましょう。

金融広報中央委員会「知るぽると」によると、2023年の50代「二人以上世帯」の金融資産保有額は、平均1147万円中央値は300万円となっています。平均よりも中央値が大きく下がるのは、一部の資産が非常に多い世帯が平均を押し上げているためです。

さらに、「金融資産を保有していない」と回答した世帯も全体の約27.4%にのぼり、決して珍しいことではありません。「貯金が少ない」ことを深刻に捉えすぎず、現実的な対策を考えることが重要です。

老後2000万円問題はもう古い? 最新の必要資金は…?

かつて話題になった「老後2000万円問題」は、2019年に金融庁が発表した報告書に基づくものです。この試算では、高齢夫婦の無職世帯が月々約5万円の赤字となり、30年間で2000万円の取り崩しが必要とされていました。

しかし、最新のデータでは状況が変化しています。

総務省統計局の「家計調査(2024年)」によると、65歳以上の夫婦世帯の1ヶ月あたりの家計は以下の通りです。

  • 可処分所得:22万2462円
  • 消費支出:25万6521円
  • 月の不足額:約3万4058円

この不足分を30年間積み上げると、必要な老後資金は約1226万円となります。以前よりハードルが下がっており、これからでも十分に準備できる金額と言えるでしょう。

50歳からでも始められる!老後資金の備え方3選

老後の不安に立ち向かうためには、「支出を見直す」「収入を増やす」「資産を育てる」という3つの視点が鍵になります。ここでは、その具体的なアプローチを紹介します。

① 固定費を見直して家計をスリムに

まずは、無駄な出費を削ることから始めましょう。家計簿や通帳を見返し、「本当に必要な支出か?」を検討します。

特に、保険料や車の維持費、サブスクサービスなどの固定費は見直し効果が大きく、一度の見直しで毎月の支出がグッと楽になる可能性があります。

② 先取り貯金で確実に貯める

収入が入ったタイミングで先に貯金額を取り分ける「先取り貯金」は、シンプルで効果的な方法です。

生活費はその残りでやりくりするという習慣をつければ、ムダな支出も自然と減らせます。

たとえ毎月3万円でも、10年続ければ360万円以上の貯蓄が可能になります。

③ iDeCo・新NISAを活用して資産を増やす

税制優遇制度を利用すれば、効率よく資産形成ができます。特に注目なのが「iDeCo」と「新NISA」です。

  • **iDeCo(個人型確定拠出年金)**は、60歳以降に年金として受け取れる制度で、掛金は全額所得控除の対象になります。
  • **新NISA(少額投資非課税制度)**では、一定額までの投資利益が非課税となり、積立枠も拡大されています。

どちらも長期的な運用で効果を発揮する制度であり、老後の備えに役立ちます。今から少しずつ始めても、10年後には大きな差になります。

まとめ:未来を変えるのに“遅すぎる”ことはない

かつて「2000万円」と言われた老後資金は、現在では「1200万円」が目安となっています。貯金が少なくても、固定費の見直しや計画的な貯蓄、税制優遇制度の活用など、50歳からできることはたくさんあります。

今の行動が、10年後・20年後の安心をつくります。「もう遅い」とあきらめる前に、できることから一歩ずつ始めてみましょう。
