You don't need to spend $100k pa in retirement. If your hdb flat is paid up and you have passive income of $3.6k pm from your CPF Life, you can retire at 65. Provided you don't own a car, employ a maid and go to restaurants everyday.

Anyway, I am not suggesting $6m for everyone. It depends on what retirement lifestyle you aspire to have as well as how much you want to bequeath. You only need $3m if you expect to spend $50k pa in retirement and you still can bequeath $3m to your loved ones at the end of 30 years in retirement.

Many people made the mistake of retiring once their home loan is paid up, once their children become independent of them. This is the period where their expenses are the lowest and their savings is highest. They should prolong this period and they will be amply rewarded with accelerated savings. I am seeing and enjoying this period first hand!

Every year that we work, we are able to save for 3+ years of retirement expenses. This has been going on for a few years already.
