Real financial freedom (salary-free) is less realistic now than at 62, as grandpa pointed out. Key factors
- #1) my health
- burn rate: after kids grow up … S$3k projection based on analysis. CSDoctor also pointed out that young kids require much higher burn rate.
- burn rate: now S$6k. Need to refrain from _some_ of the luxury spends of the middle class. Perfectly fine with myself. Sounds hard on the family, but I often feel it’s doable.

- non-salary income: CPF Life
