Retirement plan: rent out both HDB and Manila houses for approx $3k per month and live in Penang for good. With current conversation rate, RM8400 is more than enough for our retirement needs. |
Commendable effort, though as someone pointed out, seems you are lacking in cash. You are SWO? I think retirement cum investment fund should be close to 500k since you have been working for 30 years?
Anyway, thank you for your service! Wish you all the best for your retirement.
