First and foremost, I would like to personally congratulate you on your success and achievements. You have done well as a couple. You live in a condo, this puts you among the top 15% of Sporean households who are living in private properties. 85% of Singaporeans live in public housing. So you are among the top people.
Your retirement plan is good. Your passive income will be $4,400 per month, this is more than enough for an old couple. If you have kids, they will likely give you an allowance of at least $500 per kid ($250 to you and $250 to your wife). So your passive income will be $5,400 per month if you have two kids.
When you reach 65, your condo will be paid up and the value will grow to $1m plus.

Our retirement plan at 65 is to get income from our CPF Life, $1200 pm each. We will also rent out our 2 common rooms for $1000 for each room. So, as a couple our passive income is expected to be $4,400 pm. We don't plan to employ a maid and will not have a car anymore as we don't need a car by then since we will not be travelling much. We will buy our groceries online which offers free delivery service.
