My net worth seems similar to yours, but I guess my situation not quite the same. I am in my early 40s but retired already. Married but no kids. My investments are in bonds, stocks, pe, and some derivatives. My yearly returns is around 250-450k but expenditure about 200k. Drive a merc and stay in condo. All paid up.
To the post by LLL,

No doubt that the stated investments provide lesser returns. Uncle is 'old' already and cannot afford more risks but to hedge away instead. A few hundred thousand in Fixed-Ds do make a difference as opposed to having ten thousands.

Uncle admires your life due to early retirement with passive income but do make sure to hedge through insurances for unforeseen circumstances. I live a life of contentment and hope to impart knowledge to the younger ones.

Glad to learn someone of impressive records
