My first three days of retirement life

First day , took a train ride to Simei to buy some stuff, then went to Pasir Ris to take a look at the new Pasir Ris Mall. Returned home and spent the evening walking and running in the nearby stadium.

Second day, took a bus ride to Sembawang to walk around and have lunch there. Returned home and spent the evening walking and running in the nearby stadium.

Third day, took a bus ride to Clementi to walk around and have lunch there. Returned home and spent the evening walking and running in the nearby stadium.

In a few days I will be taking the train to JB and spend the whole day in JB with my wife and kids.

In three weeks I will probably run out of things to do and places to go in SG.

thanks for sharing

Mind also sharing what made you decide to retire early. What was your last job? was it the stress?

Any of your peers have retired as well so that you have companions for your retirement journey?

My plan two years ago was to retire at 50, so now I have fulfilled my plan.

I worked for the company for 26 years, my job is well paid but very stressful and is affecting my health and wellbeing. Moreover my longtime boss is also quitting and retiring, so why not join my boss to quit and retire.

The 2k includes petrol, utilities, groceries and eating out each month.

Property tax, car insurance and road tax are one time payments that I pay each year. I give my parents a large allowance every 6 months. All these are separate expenses and I don't split these with my wife.

Wow that’s such a long service extremely rare in SG. Any long service retirement benefit?
