How much savings do you have?

43m single; no car , hdb fully paid. Passive income 1.7K pm. Monthly expenditure is around 1.1K.

Is it wise to step down from current stressful job with long working hours that pays 9K pm to take on a job which is less demanding and pay 2 to 3 K? Admin type of job is fine. Local Degree holder here, want to explore diploma level jobs.

Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Couple 54 with 2 uni kids. Just done a asset review.

Property1= $3.0m (fully paid)
Property2= $1.8m (fully paid) - rental
All CPF= $2.2m
Stocks= $1.7m
Bonds= $0.4m
FD & cash in high yield= $0.8m

I think we are ready to retire soon.

If you're remaining single, you can definitely take it slow and retire early too. You even have housing already. Can already enjoy life

Yes, why not. You can even fire if you want, but choosing to work an easier job is definitely a wise choice. Keeps you away from the stress and yet keeps you occupied.
