Your assets:

1. A fully paid condo. Assuming this condo is now worth $1.5m (the average value of a condo in Singapore). This condo will surely appreciate in value over 20 years and will be worth at least $3m in 20 years time.

2. A $1m investment portfolio. This portfolio, if managed carefully, will be worth $2m at least in 20 years time.

3. If your family can save $60k a year, in 20 years time, you will have an extra $1.2m cash.

So your grand net worth total in 20 years time will be about $6.2m.

Better for you to take a lower risk of managing your investments rather than going into high risk business ventures, which will likely make you lose all your hard savings of $1m.

Perfectly alright to be a house husband who takes care of your children to grow up to be scholars.

With $6.2m in 20 years time, if you want to live like a king, you can retire in Malaysia. When you convert $6.2m you will get at least RM15m.

All the best.

the fundamental error in your assumption are 2 pts.
1st, u dont account inflation. 100% return in 20 years probably only cover the high inflation rates
2. u assume everything is linear. tt is investment returns and savings rate. biggest prob pple nowadays is they nv protect themselves from bad market as well as potential layoffs during recessions.
cheers.
