I don’t need to work more just to buy a bungalow. Why should I? I’m now still living in a luxury condo. I don’t need a bungalow. The last 10 years have been the happiest years of my life.
You have made the right decision. Our life span is about 85 years, so you have worked hard half of your life and enjoy another half of your life. Actually maybe less as our health will not be good starting for the last ten years. So if we retire at 65, the good retirement years where you can enjoy traveling and doing active activities is only about ten years. Retiring in your 40s can allow you to enjoy retirement for more years.

Yes, you don’t need to work harder just to afford a bungalow. I’m sure a condo will suffice, in fact you are fortunate to own a condo in Singapore. 80% here live in HDB flats.
