Engineer.

wife - not working health issue

Expenses soar high due to quarterly treatment and sometimes savings are not enough. Any one here have done any part time work from home ? recommend any ?

Last time in 2006, youngsters on 3-4k salary can buy 70-80k honda civic because of 90% financing and 10yr loan period
These days, the youngsters can no longer do so with 50% financing and max 5 yr period loan. Somemore with TDSR, youngsters are cautious not to get into too much debt that prevent them from buying a apartment.
So less youngsters demand + more supply COEs means lower car prices in 2015

Thats good news for all of us. We have waited patiently and will be rewarded with $30k COE soon. HUAT AH!

Give tuition.

Tuition is a very good source of supplementary income!

As we approach the new year, I feel very upbeat as I will be 55 next year. It is time to bade farewell to my fast paced corporate world and join my buddies who retired much earlier than me. I was supposed to retire at 50, the typical age for the high flyers to retire. I took a bit longer as I wanted to settle things before leaving.

As I looked back, it has been a hectic 30 years of my life. I was a jet setter, traveling the world. I had little time for my wife and children. My health took a beating too. While those were my biggest regrets, at least I've achieved what I set to achieve 30 years ago. I now own a nice 4 bedroom condo near the city area which is fully paid. I also have built up quite a decent investment portfolio which gives me a nice passive income of $150k pa. Being debt free, my expenses are not high, only $60k pa. My children are now working and earning well. They are getting married soon and moving to their own condos.

I plan to take things easy and focus on improving my poor health. As a hobby, I will be trading stocks on a leisurely basis, not doing day trading though as this will be highly stressful. I will spend my time reading up on companies, attending AGMs and meeting up with old friends.

Congratulations on your retirement. You deserve a good break.
Just to check since you are retired, do you have plans to buy new car at existing high COE price?
