Sounds ok.

Maybe the kids are 13/14?

Husband was 29 and wife was 25 when they got married and had their first child.

Husband would have graduated for 4/5 years at 24/25 and wife would have graduated for 2/3 years at 22/23.

Excellent , though you are probably underleveraged for your age and net worth.

Owns and lives in a 5 room HDB flat located near the city centre, now worth $800k, fully paid up 20 years ago. Bought very cheap. Retired two years ago at age 57, earning passive income from stocks dividends, $60k pa. No car and no maid. Children living in their own BTO flats. Expenses for both my wife, 59, and I are $36k pa in total. We are happy and spend time together at home reading books and watching TV.

Well done sir. You are my idol. I have the same plan as you. I will first focus on paying off my BTO flat mortgage and fulfill my CPF min sum. After that I will grow my stocks portfolio so that by the time reach 55, I can have enough dividends to finance my retirement.

Thus, instead of setting a target of $20m, aim to save $100k each year. If already achieved, then raise the bar to $200k and so on.

For our case, early in our career, we were thrilled when we were able to meet our savings target of $50k pa. We then upped the target by another $50k for the next year. To cut the long story short, we are now achieving $350k savings each year. Thanks also to a healthy passive income stream.

I can imagine that we will be miserable if we stupidly set $20m as our target from the start knowing that it will be almost impossible to meet. As it is, with our small targets each year, we will always celebrate whenever we achieved one.

Try it and you will not feel so miserable and bitter.
It is true, I start with 650k networth and has been tracking since then. In 8 years, my networth is now 2.1m. Not great, but take one step at a time and be patient.

You are doing very well. You are now a millionaire. Are you planning to upgrade to a better condo?
