๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThere is a profound sense of security and freedom in the notion of owning your  own HDB flat with a supplementary stream of great dividend paying stocks and SReits.  This is not just about financial numbers.  It is about achieving a sense of peace and control over one's life.

Imagine waking up knowing that your core living expenses are taken care of by the fruits of your prudent investments.

Dividends from a strong performer like $DBS(D05.SI)$ or steady income from a diversified SReit like $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$, can fund not just the essentials but also the small joys that make life rich.

This combination is great for a life rich on community, family and simple pleasures.

A Middle-Class Life Overseas with Just One Home? Is Retirement Plan B Really Feasible?
Even when people only have a few hundred dollars to spare, many already think about putting some money into REITs. With property sentiment recovering, REITs may look even more promising. Besides REITs, some people invest by buying a second propertyโ€ฆ or simply rent out their own home and retire somewhere else. โ€œCan I live off rental income + investments and semi-retire in a lower-cost country?โ€ This isnโ€™t a fantasy anymore โ€” itโ€™s becoming a common โ€œSingapore-style Plan B.โ€ Can one property get you to a middle-class life? Can REITs alone fund a comfortable lifestyle?

    I completely agree with what you just shared. Investment is about making your money work harder for you, not relying solely on human effort. Preparing for retirement with care will help everything fall into place more smoothly.

      So I like to buy and hold long term.

      What's even better is the capital growth from great stocks and SReits .

      Even though retirement may yet happen for many more years , having a passive source of income from dividends, helps to have a comfortable lifestyle in the future.

    but i think CICT dividend yield is pretty low... try load up on Mapletree pan asia and Mapletree industrial Reits instead
