LOL,

These are the recurring themes:

1. Made it big, retired at 48 / 50. Wife younger still working. Passive income can cover expenses with some buffer. Working out in Gym, and doing charitable deeds. Dont be wage slave

<<Usually above post will trigger another recurring one: Your story inspiring. Most successful here>>

2. Age 38/39, 48/49, etc... earning such and such. Can retire or not? Or how to retire?

3. Easy to retire in Thailand, M'sia and what have you.

4. Downgrade to HDB studio, invest rest of money to get 4%, 5% returns ($40K, $50k pa).

5. Work as long as you can. Beware of inflation, need $m to retire comfortably.

But some of the posts are enlightening.
