Thank you for sharing. Your ideas are brilliant. My wife and I may follow your plans once our children starts working and get married. We are lucky that we have no more loans on our flat and we also have passive income from our investments. Penang is a nice place with many beautiful beaches. We've been there a few times and enjoyed our holidays there. I'm sure it is a good place to retire. Not so crowded and yet there are many modern amenities. With the low cost of retiring in Penang, we can then save more for us to travel the world.
