You are an inspiration. Can you share how you manage your household with $5k a month?
Can you share more on your current situation - how old are you, are you retired, how many properties you own and are they fully paid up (
hdb or private?), how many kids you have and have they all finished schooling?, etc.
I am thinking of retiring as i am now already 55 years old, i own a fully paid up
hdb flat which is worth $600K (bought at $100k) where i am staying today and a fully paid up condo (now worth $1.2m) which gives me a rental of $4k a month. my kids are grown up and working and i just need to support myself and my wife (not working). can i retire on $4k a month passive income? please advise. thanks.

You can even afford to go on trips with the dividends you are receiving occasionally.
You can even afford a small car to make travel around Singapore. You can retire now, like right now, if you can cut down on your spendings.
Education for kids? I strongly believe that parents will only need to provide for the basic. I told my son i will only provide money for local uni, he pushed himself hard and made it to NUS Business. The $30k tuition is well within my means. You may have different philosophy as i do, but i'm providing you with one way to manage.
Control your spendings. You will never earn enough. |
