As for retirement, you are on the right path. First, by the time you reach 65, your condo would be paid up. Second you would save $680k. Third you and wife will have your CPF Life and you can choose the enhanced option to give you each $1750 pm.

Since you have paid up your condo, you need not pay any rent or mortgage and that saves a lot. Your CPF will be $3500 pm and with $680k, you can invest in 5% dividend yield stocks to give you income of $34k pa or $2833 pm. Your kids will give you $1000 pm and if you have two kids, you get $2000 pm. In total your passive income is $8333 pm. This is more than enough.

In summary, if you want to retire well, you must have 5 Cs:

1. Condo - Retire in style to enjoy the facilities and nice landscaping.
2. CPF Life - to give you monthly payouts
3. Children - to give you money every month
4. Cash - to buy dividend stocks
5. Control - dont overspend and do not engage in gambling, smoking, drinking, womanising, etc.
