Is RM1 Million Enough for Retirement in 20 Years?

If we retire at the age of 60, we need to have enough funds to live comfortably for the next 20 years. This is based on typical life expectancy in the future which is quite real. If we like to reduce the number of years from 20, then we just need to work till 65 and we need just funds for 15 years or if we work till 70, then we need funds to be just 10 years. We can definitely live longer but for planning purpose, we should use a number and that’s life expectancy lah.

Treat your people well! Pay their EPF contributions on time or else…

I could not understand why people like to owe money which is due to their employees. They work hard to help the company earn more money. Once upon a time, a friend (who’s definitely no longer a friend) also did the same to his employees. Sigh. I hope that friend has changed his ways and be good to his employees. They work for you, they help you earn more money, they give their time, effort and brain power to you.
