Redeploying $900k of CPF in Ordinary Accounts into higher yielding investments could potentially give us another $30k in extra passive income, but keeping it there for a rainy day and 2.5% is fine. Expecting another $48-60k combined per year from our SRS accounts when we both hit 62. We have property investments, but don't rent them out. Some relatives live in them. CPF Life should also give us about $40k per year in income when we both hit 65. So our passive income is expected to continue to rise over time and I estimate will reach $600k by the time we are 65.

CPF: $45k from both of us based on $1.5m+ in CPF with both retirement accounts topped up and currently $250-260k each. Ordinary accounts around $900k+
About $400K in 2016 from $7.5m portfolio of high dividend blue chips, REITS, preference shares, bond ladders
