need advise on this situation

Age 49
I kid = form 1 + 1 wife

Epf  2 Million
ASM 2 Million
Total 4 Million

Average interest dividen from both approx rm16K per month (5%pa)

Can survive with rm16k per month?
current mntly expenses approx rm7-10k per month max
*
More than sufficient since you have excess of RM6k (assume no lifestyle changes RM16k-RM10k)

If you have extra education fund (at least for 11 years of school & college), all the better.

I would not. My eldest now enjoys her work. It is her hobby. Earns in Yen and USD but I don't get a cut of it. hahahaha but nvm as long dun ask money from me can already.
I can also tell you local education are way behind other countries especially in science, medical, AI, robotics, industrials,  etc... The m'sian government just don't support these areas and don't fund it. For this reason, my son is funded by the Switzerland and German universities to research for them. The result of his research will never be Malaysian.

Only 1 downside : eldest in Japan, youngest in Europe. 2 old mum and dad in M'sia

That's good life...

The problem is with those with no kids. Some of my friends facing this problem don't know who to give when they gone since they have no kids. Don't be surprised so many properties and money in the bank no one claims because of this problem. And it is hard to ask them to spend the money by flying first class etc. They have comfortable life but will not go all out to spend like Jho Low, for example.

Give to charity is the best or setup a trust fund under their name and people will remember them forever.

My wife never control my finances, and i will never let woman to control me in any aspect  biggrin.gif

She once joked if i become damn rich one day she doesn't mind me bring back 3 more wives to play mahjong with her, that gave me a bit of hope  tongue.gif

My boss has a rich friend who divorced a few times, i wonder how the guy protect his assets / money. I guess people this rich should have some ways to save their money / assets, and won't let ex-wives to share half of their assets / money every time he divorced.

always sign a pre-nuptial agreement if you are ultra rich...

Yes, that saves a lot of headaches if a split should ever happen, but it may also cause a lot of heartache if the marriage was formed with an intention that it was doomed to fail ... never an easy solution.

Love is something intangible in a marriage hahaha.

With >RM2m in EPF, and utilise the EPF dividend annually, would it be consider FI/RE ?
If yes, which F.I.R.E. category will it fall under ?
