I get about $300K/y in dividend/interest income. Not sure why I'm still working... Perhaps it's the childrens' overseas education costs of about $160k/yr or the fact that cars are now so expensive (mine is nearing 10 years old). But I'm loosening up on the savings. Recently I blew $30K on two suites class tickets on SIA for a holiday. Ouch. Also, having a investment portfolio so large, I'm a bit taken aback by the fact that my investments have fallen $600K in the last month. Ouch again. All this makes me a bit scared to retire...
