Yes, you can retire now. Sell your condo for $1.5m and then buy a 5 room HDB flat for $500k. Invest the $1m cash balance to give you a 5% dividend yield. So you get $50k pa in additional dividends. Your annual passive income will be $100k pa. This is sufficient for a family of four if you spend properly.

You are a successful couple. To own a car and a condo is a big achievement in Singapore. You should be among the top 5% in Singapore.

We are left with only $178k on our mortgage loan. We pay $1k pm or $12k pa for our mortgage. This is a MSR of only 6%. Actually we can pay off our remaining mortgage in full using our CPF balance if we want to but since our CPF interest rate is giving 2.5% and our mortgage rate is less than 2.5%, it doesn't make sense for us to pay off in full. If mortgage rates rise above 2.5%, we will just pay off our remaining mortgage in full.

We lead a middle class lifestyle. We do own a nice car which allows us to move around in comfort. We enjoy good food at restaurants at least once a week. Family bonding is important to us, hence we invest in year end holidays where we get to be closer as a family. Our holidays are full of sweet, happy memories.

To prepare for our retirement, we save about $35k pa in cash. We also build up our CPF savings for our future. We aim to retire in ten years time when we reach 57. We should have enough cash savings and CPF Life for us to spend during our retirement. We will need about $36k pa during our retirement. We will have enough cash savings to take care of inflation.

Our retirement expenses will include food and groceries, public transport fees, utilities, medical fees, insurance, broadband, mobile phone, entertainment, holidays, condo fees, etc.

You can retire now. Assuming you can use $500k from your cash and CPF to pay for a HDB flat. You can sell your condo and buy a HDB flat. You will then have $2.6 mil to invest in a 5% dividend portfolio giving you $130k pa. This passive income is enough for your family of four.

What is the difference between "Combined cash & CPF - $500k." and "Combined cash savings - $25k pa."?

Does that mean your combined cash is $25K and CPF is $475K?

If above is correct, you need to continue to work as long as you can, until official retirement age. By continuous working, you would enjoy medical benefit, grow your CPF further, not touching your saving for regular expenses and save more since the car and condo are paid up.

Meanwhile, look into how to invest your cash saving so you could have safe passive income when you retire.
