hello sifus
I'm in my early 50s and looking at possible early retirement. I am looking at advice on how best to manage my finances so that it'll last me over the next 30 years or so.
- assets: apartment, car, ~RM2m in EPF, ~RM200k cash
- liabilities none. Kids have finished school etc.
- other income none
- monthly expenditures RM4-5k for a very comfortable living
- insurance none, have always been covered by the company and don't plan to take any in the future given my age, the cost, my thankfully good health (now).
How should I manage the EPF + cash? My objectives are minimal work and I am ok with moderate risk.
1. leave it in EPF & tabung haji, withdraw only what I need. No taxation and fully liquid but returns at 5+% per year is just ok
2. Diversify and invest a portion in property? I have never really invested in property long term, have flipped a few but that's probably not the way to go now. How much realistically can I get beyond 5.5% per year post tax that #1 provides?
3. equity market? I don't know enough about the Malaysian market unfortunately. I have no desire to go for unit trusts given the higher costs in the short term.
4. something else?
With 2M in EPF earning 6% p.a and your monthly expenditure of only RM4-5k. I'm in my early 50s and looking at possible early retirement. I am looking at advice on how best to manage my finances so that it'll last me over the next 30 years or so.

Just sit and enjoy your life.
By doing nothing, you earn yourself 120k p.a with 6% interest. That is 10k per month. Use that extra for equity investment.
