Have properties to rent out to get S$4000 passive income. After deduction of taxesandmaintenance and JB condo rental and kids international school fees , maybe S$2000left which I can supplement by working maybe 2 mornings a week in Sg as a locum GP. Can get another maybe S$3000 and S$5000 should be enough for a family of 4 to get by in JB....get to work less and spend more time with kids...only thing is their education will be more convenient in JB....tempted to semiretire now...what do u guys think?
Hubby also chronically out of work and I am getting tired working... If ever I lose my job, Glad can still survive by selling my terrace and living in JB...
hmm thats a poor excuse for not working leh
not working buay sian meh?
why cannot keep a job for long?
even if cannot just keep looking for jobs lo.. part time also can
If you can control your expense, retiring overseas is actually very easy. However, I don't see you or your husband are ready for that. Better keep on working.
Obviously the root of your stress is you are the only breadwinner. Slap your husband to wake up his idea. Either be a full time house husband (which means taking care of everything in the household) or get his lazy ass up to find a job. What kind of example is he setting for the kids?
TS, You are a doctor. Is your hubby suffering from depression ? Depressed people can't hold on to job for long. Lower living expenses in JB maybe cancel out with children's international school fee.
Trying to retire with 3 mouths to feed is just bad idea. Especially with 2 young school-going kids, there are always a lot of unexpected expenses from kids
