If you have a paid up hdb flat, then your expenses will only be (for two persons)

Food & groceries $1000 pm
Utilities $100 pm
Public transport $100 pm
Holidays (pro rated) $300 pm
Misc $200 pm
Total $1700 pm or $20.4k pm

So, if you have passive income of $30k pa or $2.5k pm, you can retire.

How much passive income do you think a retired couple needs to retire, assuming a simple retirement (i.e. eat hawker or home cooked food, live in a paid up HDB flat, no car, no maid, short holidays to Malaysia and Thailand, lead a healthy lifestyle). Thanks.
