Can i check a few points on your post ?

1.From what you are posting, you are living in HDB worth around 400k and renting out your condo.

2. From your passive income, you are getting $45k which i take it to be from your equity ? If so, you are earning quite a bit from there as it is like 7% dividend return. - > Good call !

3. But if your passive income of $45k includes your rent, then are you double counting since your rent offset your condo loan ? Or are you using CPF OA to pay off your loan hence you see this $45k as cash inflow ?

4. If your 45k is strictly from rent, then your loan is approx 1m( assume 30 yr, 1.5% hence your condo is 1.2 million worth ?

5. All in all, your portfolio has a investment theme t ie equity+ property. So I presume you r know more than the average joe and have taken calculated risk for this strategy.

Why is your savings so little? Is it because you dont earn much? How much is your income?

By the way, dont call yourself uncle when you're only 47. Dont sell yourself short.

Congrats on your achievements. Is the terrace house fully paid up? If not, how much is the remaining loan?
