How much are you earning per annum?

We will be retiring in a couple of years when we reach 55 after collecting our CPF funds. We plan to downgrade from our condo to a HDB flat and become debt free.

Sell condo $1 million
Buy HDB flat $500k
Collect CPF OA $200k
So we get $(1-0.5+0.2) = $0.7 million cash

We can spend this cash for our retirement from 55 to 65 years old.
We will need $5k pm which is $600k over 10 years.
When we reach 65, our combined CPF Life will be $5k pm.

This is our early retirement plan. We are very fortunate to be among the few in Singapore who can retire early.

Even my mother is not as naggy as you. 5k pm only, what is the big deal? I can retire with 10 k pm and eat michelin restaurant every day.

changi got retirement village

Today is a blessed day. It is raining. Rain is a blessing.

As I look out the window, I feel blessed as I can afford to enjoy the morning, lying on my bed. I recalled my earlier days as a high flying corporate executive. Those days were crazy days, rushing early in the morning, stuck in traffic, rushing from one meeting to another, flying from one city to another, rain or shine.

But it was worth it as the hard work enables me to earn a fortune. I had plenty of cash to invest. My many years of investments paid off extremely well. I'm now happily retired, my passive income from investments easily sustains my family. They are enjoying a good life too - living in a nice condo, going overseas holidays, driven around in a car, enjoying good food at restaurants, etc.

As a multi millionaire, I'm still busy, busy managing and growing my wealth, busy pursuing the many interests I had no time for previously, busy taking good care of my family, busy spending time with my very old parents and busy volunteering at charities and non profit organisations. Life is more meaningful and fulfilling. I'm healthier and happier.

In life, you have to make tough choices. Choose the wrong career and you can be working all your life. There are people who did not enjoy a single day of retirement. They died before they retired. That's sad.

Choose the right high paying career, work hard, be the best in your field, invest well and become a multi millionaire. You can then afford to retire early and enjoy a full life.

100% agreed!!! Sometimes in life you don't have choices also. Like we were born as sinkies and raised to pwn each other. Deep down we are humans, capable of compassion and love for others but sibei away, born a true sinkie, forever pwn each other.

Wa even my phone bought in Singapore wanna pwn me with auto correct.

Truly sinkie life.

500k for a hdb flat nowadays will probably only get you a place at a crap location like Slumbawang. What's the point of retiring early to live in a dump?
