Can retire with $1k monthly? got bluff me?

  Someone who is my cohort just retired last year.  He candidly shared that his average monthly expenses is less than $1000. Some background that I gathered: 1.  Married with a working adult child. 2.  Stay in condo; ever spinned n profited from few property sales. 3.  Still need to support aged parent with 4 siblings. 4. No car. So I did some quick calculation to see sure or not to retire with $1k monthly expenses. Think his $1k p.m. is thin retirement. Utility & PS, water : $100 p.m. Telco: $20 p.m.  MCST: $200 p.m. (where got so low maintenance?) Medishieldlife: $800 / 12= $66 p.m. (can pay by CPF-MA) H&S Shield Plan: $1200 / 12 = $100 p.m. (excluded $680 deducted from MA) Support his parents: $2000/5 = $400. Basic fixed monthly overhead:  100+20+200+100 + 400 = $820 With just $1000 p.m., net available for meal = $1000 - $820 = $180 p.m. (or $6 per day) Not forgetting that he just retired, he need to fully pay his last year personal income t...

During my younger days, I was given cod-liver oil daily.   I remembered its taste.  Recently I tried to consume the same brand of Cod-Liver oil, it still tastes the same; so this brand is not so adulterated and authentic. ~~~~ One added Magnesium supplemen...
