How much is enough for retirement in Singapore?
-
I had lunch at Queenstown Hawker Centre.
A plate of wonton mee costs $4 (ground flr) and a plate of rojak (2nd flr) starts from $4.
The prices are quite reasonable.
I think a budget of $10 per meal is ok at present. -

I hope you used your cdc vouchers! First floor nasi lemak stall (and others) accept it.

Yes, I paid the wonton noodles and rojak using CDC vouchers

Most if not all stalls accept CDC vouchers. -

Yea transferred already. Ocbc should have 4.6% for the 1st 3 requirements. Just need to learn/chk maybe first 2mths on avg daily balance amt. Some stocks dividend have around 4% but abit riskier..
ocbc360 i find it troublesome lei? u ditch uob already, so is it need to inform HR to change salary crediting bank again..
recently , we found out Trust Bank is easy to earn interest up to 3.5% , but it is effortless. just spend , credit salary and save. 3.5% up to $500K deposit -
The new CDC vouchers are coming at the end of the month. I wonder what \"promotion\" NTUC is going to give this time to make us use up the vouchers

If Fairprice wants my CDC vouchers, they will need to find a way that I can use them online. If not, SS will get mine as I go there in person!

No news on the date of availability of cdc Jun 2024 vouchers yet

i think it is not a bad idea to move to Indonesia somewhere for my retirement and feel myself like a king

@markdis Do you converse in Malay/Indonesian? That’s definitely something that I feel is critical in your decision.

Language can be a real game-changer when it comes to choosing your retirement haven. I was just browsing this index called the EF English Proficiency Index the other day. It ranks countries based on their English skills! Here’s a link if you’re curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EF_English_Proficiency_Index
Singapore’s absolutely smashing it at number 2, but Indonesia’s a bit further down the list at 79. The Philippines (#20) and Malaysia (#25) might also be worth a peek if you’re set on Southeast Asia and decent English is a priority.
Definitely wise visiting a place before you commit to retiring there. You get a feel for the vibe, the pace of life, and whether it truly feels like home. I always use this guide when planning trips: https://gowithguide.com/blog/how-to-plan-a-trip-5-essential-steps-5730. It breaks down everything from budgeting to finding the best local experiences.
