Good retirement plan in KL or Penang (retire in luxury) for a retired couple at 55 years old (assuming no dependents)

Passive income at 55
Rent out fully paid HDB flat S$2.5k pm
Stocks dividends S$1k pm
Total S$3.5k pm or RM10.5k pm

KL or Penang cost of living
Rent a 3 bedroom condominium RM2k pm
Car expenses RM500 pm (assume buy car in cash RM50k)
Food, groceries, restaurants and utilities RM2k pm
Medical and entertainment RM1k pm
Misc RM500 pm
Total spending RM6k pm
Savings RM4.5k pm

Passive income at 65

Stocks dividends S$1k pm
CPF Life (Enhanced Retirement Scheme), couple gets S$3.5k pm

This retirement plan allows you to live in a nice condo and drive a nice car. You can go holidays all over the world every year if you want to since you will have lots of savings.

Your key retirement assets are: 1. HDB flat 2. CPF Life 3. Dividend blue chip stocks.

If you really can't find a job, go for skills training. Learn to drive and you can be an Uber or Grab driver. You can make a good living if you are not lazy. Work hard and you can save a lot. Then invest your money well and you can become rich.

Stop complaining and wasting time.

Which major of Science? I thought Science is pretty much ok, there are many jobs out there for this discipline. Or you could consider studying Masters or PhD.

I'm from NUS Science (Life Sciences), graduated last year. I think the job market for science graduates now is rather bad, especially as I have no intention to pursue a career in Science. I'm having a hard time finding a permanent job, and I feel that employers don't specifically demand for Science graduates.

I have been working contract jobs/temp jobs/tuition to earn some income all these while. I wish to upgrade myself to make myself more employable but courses are expensive and I don't have the income to spare. It's really demoralizing to keep getting rejections/wait for news from employers and I feel so lost now...

Hi, did you graduated with an upper class or? I thought i was the rare few that graduated from local u ,yet months later still looking for a job. Did u graduate during may 15 or aug 15? Have u taken internships back then? I am also feeling lost but have to stay strong during this tough period. I know the feeling of rejection. Sighs.
