300K cash savings, 20K PA? You need average returns of ~7% to fund and that's excluding inflation.

That aside 20K PA seems low for retirement, especially if unexpected expense come up. Are you well insured? That is the biggest risk as you age. At 1.5k per month, how much are you setting aside for insurance? It will not leave much for daily expenses.
