Congratulations on achieving the 5 Cs. All your hard work has paid off. Just don't forget to help the poor and needy. Volunteer your time at charities. Don't be snobbish.

Will spend another 15 years or so to save up for our retirement. Will ensure our CPF SA is maximised so that we can opt for the CPF Life ERS. That will be our main source of retirement income (maybe about $3,600 pm for a couple). The other source of retirement income will be from annuities which we will buy using our cash savings. We will retire in our condominium unit.
I think we are considered successful in our local context since we have achieved 5 Cs - condominium, car, cash, credit card and children. Children is the most precious as we cherish our kids a lot. |
