Over frugal also no good.
Money earned is for spend and use.
No use after life.

Over frugal may affect health and social.
Health - refuse to buy healthy food (don't need to be expensive, just normal natural food) and consume cheap junk food. In the end, affect health when aging and more money spent on medical only. Penny wise, pound foolish.
Social - Too stingy can affect socialize with other people, not going out with people, too calculative until affecting friendship.

Spend within yours mean.
Frugal is good habit
Over frugal is not.

What i am trying to say is 5mil may seems alot now, in cash..
And she is spending the FD interest and KLSE dividend as monthly household expenses, hence losing the compounding magic (if not being re-invested)
Moreover in  another 20 or 30years , your 5mil will 'feel like' 2.5mil in PPP.
Only Fixed Asset with rental income will be stable in value.  Long term wise, the shop will appreciate.  and Rental also appreciate.

There are abandoned shops with nobody want to rent also.
Ain't we see a lot lately banner hanging around in some outskirt area?

Not all property are the same.
Property rental collection can be troublesome and risky also if there is bad tenant.
