Pleasantly surprised with your post. It suddenly opened up our mind on the possibility for my spouse and I to retire in a couple of years time when we hit 48 & 50 years old. We have no kids.
We already have a passive income of S$60k pa and if we sell our current home (a condo) and invest it in blue chip stocks, we can get another S$60k pa of dividends, making it a total of S$120k pa of dividends. If we convert this to RM and retire in KL, we will have a passive income of RM320k pa. With this amount, we can easily retire in the most posh penthouse in the most prestigious address in KL and can drive a sports car. LOL.

We plan to rent out our flat for $2500 pm or $30k pa. We also have stocks investments in blue chips which give us 4% dividends, we get $30k in dividends per year. In total, our passive income from flat and stocks is about $60k pa. When we convert our passive income, we get RM160k pa. Expenses for a retired couple in KL will be about RM60k pa. Our daughter is expected to give us $1,000 pm ($12k pa) from her annual income of $100k pa. We will save this.
When we reach 65, we will get $2,400 pm or $28.8k pa from CPF Life. We will save this as well. So when we reach 65, our passive income will be $100.8k pa or RM270k pa. Our net worth now is about $1.6m. |
