I think taking up a sport helps. I started cycling every sunday and then a few months later, started swimming every sat in addition to the sunday rides. And recently, started running on weekdays as well.

Hi,

It is possible for you to retire at 55 based on these assumptions and conditions when you reach 55

1. Your condo fully paid
2. Kids are grown up and working, hence no more expenses for the kids
3. Your parents are no longer around, hence no more parental allowance for them
4. You don't drive, hence no more expenses on car
5. Insurance expense halved as kids will pay their own insurance

So, expenses cut will be $(2400 + 1800 + 1000 + 1400 + 800) pm = $7400 pm

Your expenses will be say $4000 pm or $48k pa, including holidays.

Since you save $59k pa, over 15 years, you will save $885k. You then invest in 5% dividend yield stocks to give you $44k pa. Your kids will each give you $1k pm, so in total you get $24k pa. Passive income total $68k pa. You can save $20k pa.

At 65, you will get an extra $3500 pm or $42k pa from CPF Life. You can save this or spend more on holidays or buy a car.

Thank you sir for this great advice. It motivates me to know that we are on the right track and can actually retire by 55. We will work hard and try to save as much as we can. We can start investing now.

Have a great day, sir! :-)

One 3 million dollars condo given to me by my parents. I am waiting for my inheritance of a few million dollars when my parents pass away. They are doing very well as CEOs. I am married and happy, with no children. No mortgage and no loans to worry about. I volunteer and stay humble.
