Total property valued at $3 mil

Net worth including cash and CPF about $2.2 mil
Gross Rental Income $7k
Monthly Housing Loan Instalment $5k
Working Household Income $12k
Monthly Expenditure $9k
Monthly Savings $5k
We bought the typical term insurance and critical illness coverage, medishield plus and riders.
Is our retirement plan secure say around 50 yrs old? Given that we keep the properties for passive income? Really sincere in hearing from wise people who have walked the path before. Thanks! |
Looks OK given your age profile. Some leverage is important to amplify your wealth accumulation.
Two things to look out for:-
(1) Focus on your job because that provides you with the needed recurring income to sustain your expenditure and savings;
(2) Retain the spare buffer you have built up for rainy days - don't be too tempted to invest it in high risk ventures.
Your expenditure of $9k does appear a little high given your profile of simple living though.
