Let's assume you are 48 and your spouse is 42 and you both will retire at 65. Based on your savings rate of $40k pa, you would have saved an additional $680k when you retire at 65. Your spouse would have saved $1.035m when she is 65. Your condo mortgage would also be paid off by then. So, your net worth in total would have increased by $2.075 and your net worth would be $3.775m. You will be multi millionaire couple. You can retire happily.

We live like any middle class family, living in a condo and drive a car. We still have loans on both the condo and car. Our home loan is about $360k left and our car loan is about $40k left. We go out to eat at restaurants once a week and we go for overseas holidays twice a year.
Our total net worth (which includes the condo home equity, cash, stocks and CPF funds) is about $1.7m in total. Are we doing ok? |
