52, trading for a living. Decided to quit my corporate job in 2013 due to the toxic work environment, dreaded going to work everyday, affected my mental and physical health badly.

Sold our condo in 2013 and moved to a 5 room hdb apartment. From the net proceeds of the sale of condo and purchase of the hdb aprtment plus my savings over the many years of working, I managed to get $1m cash. Used the cash to invest in blue chips and for trading.

Income generated from dividends and trading profits is about $80k pa. I am very happy doing my investing and trading, my mental and physical health improved significantly. Also feels good that we are debt free. My spouse, 48, earns $70k pa. Our household expenses is currently about $90k pa. Our children will soon graduate and will contribute to the home expenses when they start working.
