It is not difficult to retire as long as you:

1. Own your home outright with no loan so that you don't need to pay rent when you no longer work.

2. Choose the CPF Life scheme which gives you $1750 pm until you die.

3. Have good children who give you some money every month until you die.

4. Don't have bad habits such as drinking, gambling, smoking, womanizing, overspending, etc.
