Our combined income of $420k pa in S'porean translates to RM1.1M pa! Big ticket items like houses and cars are so much cheaper there. Food prices too. But here, we are really struggling to save enough for retirement. |
Actually, I am not too averse to retiring there, it is an option if we want to retire early and live in the semi d there as it is easier to rent out properties in Singapore. Have 2 young boys and am only 38 yrs old this year. May consider sending them to international schools there and semiretire soon, can still work as a locus GP in Singapore.
