Medium income reported per household
Among resident employed households, the median monthly income rose from S$7,040 in 2011 to S$7,570 last year, registering a 7.5% increase in nominal terms, or 2.7% in real terms (i.e. after accounting for inflation).

Medium means 50 percentile. Typically, 70 percent stay in hdb and 30 percent in private property. If you are above 17k per month per household, you are in the top 15% 噢法同行人total population household

Pretty decent. What property you own? Any mortgage left?
How many children do you have? Wife working?

if your net worth is 1.2m, then as a couple, your combined net worth should be 2.4m or RM6m. you both can already retire in malaysia. more than enough to send your kids to international school there.

Very tempting thought as I do want to retire early. But I think the money may only be enough to last till I am 73 years old as some money have to be set aside for kids' university expenses.
That is assuming we need 5000 sing dollars to survive per month in malaysia. The semid we are still awaiting state consent for in jb has an international school right outside its gated and guarded compound.
I am seriously considering semiretiring there soon and renting out my singapore properties either when RTS is up by 2019 or sooner.
Thanks for yr suggestion though, it made my day just to think that perhaps I can retire now!

One option inspired by reading the posts here was to sell my terrace and pay off the outstanding mortgage and equity loan on my jb semid. Will have one million left to invest in stocks perhaps like so many here have done. If it generates 5% returns then combined with mm rental, can have more than 5k sing dollars to live in jb. Can keep capital and mm then. But not confident of managing a million dollar stock portfolio, that is the only problem.
