Some food for thought assuming lump sum is the way.
You have RM2.5million EPF savings at the age of 65 now, with a property fully paid off. How you gonna spread your spending?
You can say put in EPF and draw in 5% interest, but then you going to die with RM2.5million "wasted".
If you want to slowly deplete all your savings, a bit unpredictable. If you spend too fast and live long, wasted
If you spend conservatively but die fast, wasted also.
Not sure what 65 year old me will do. For now I'm thinking set high spending till 75 years old. Anything after that just stay at home have amount to pay the bill and do house hobbies. Anything after 80 see how la.
If live till 100 like Mahathir then gg.
Not wasted. I want to leave everything for my heir...i have no need to spend lots of money. As long got food to eat, can pay medical bills, can pay utilities, settled. Also won't eat too healthy, i don't want to live so long. Thinking to spend money doesn't gives me satisfaction....what gives you the satisfaction is depends on each person. For me, i personally think one one should learn something and build something...whether it's learning a new language, computer coding, building electronics, play the piano, grow an orchard....anything. It doesn't need a lot of money. Just time, which you will have when you retired.

Simple, no need to retire and continue working. Everyone needs to be responsible for their life.
The Gov wants you to work till you die.

the CPF median savings appear quite low....I believe many ktards punya EPF savings balance here can easily beat these figures even after conversion RM to SGD.
I think ktard shouldn't be used to measure wealth level of Malaysians...ktards are like T10.
