My wife and I plan to retire soon.
We have $500k for us to retire on from age 55 to 65.
When we reach 65, we will receive $4k pm ($2k pm each) from our CPF Life.
Our condo is fully paid up.
We can retire comfortably as we don’t plan to own a car and we will cook delicious healthy dishes at home by ourselves.
We plan to exercise regularly, take up new hobbies, read, etc during our retirement.
We look forward to our retirement after working so hard at school (15 years) and at work (30 years).
Time to relax and smell the roses.
Our children are grown up and can take care of themselves.
We don’t pamper them. They are strong, independent individuals. We are proud of them.

I believe VP of IT in BB should earn more than that, actually - but perhaps someone here could confirm.

Yeah agreed should be higher

Lol. Even cyber security folks in banks don't make that much.

Second girl is degree holder, a colleague in a similar role and ~100k pa pay (different office), career-minded, a little opinionated. I'm not big on looks, its just the personalities I'm interested in to form a family with. Both seem receptive to my wooing.
For those who has decades of married life experience, which girl would give a better shot at a successful and happy life in SG? I had NS friends who are happily married to foreign kampung-types brides and also some unhappy with marrying high-achieving types despite living in condos and driving conti cars. Thanks for sharing your life advice.

I'm 49 and married for 20 years already. My advise would be: Go for the ~100k pa gal.
