This would suffice for a retired couple who doesn't drive, drink, smoke nor gamble. Also by then your children are working and can feed themselves. They may also give you some allowance which you can save.
When your kids are married and move into their own hdb BTO flat, you then sell away your hdb flat and buy a one bedroom condo near an MRT station. |
I think it's fkn sad that a millionaire (multi at that) in Singapore has to live such a life. Honestly, migrate over to Australia/NZ and get a big house in the suburbs for 1/2 the price of a
HDB here. You can even maintain a car and pets if you so wish.
