Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How much money do you really need to retire comfortably in Singapore? Is the famous $1 million retirement goal realistic, or should you be focusing on something else?
In this special episode of the DollarsAndSense Podcast, filmed live at **InsureXpo by CIMB 2026, we sit down with Prof Sharon Ng to discuss what financial independence actually means—and why retirement planning isn't just about hitting one magic number.
In this episode, we cover whether $1 million is enough for retirement, how to calculate your own retirement needs, why financial independence looks different for everyone, common retirement planning mistakes, the importance of insurance and protecting your financial future, habits that help you build long-term financial security, and the "Sleep Test", a simple way to know if you're financially prepared.
Whether you're just starting your career or already planning for retirement, this conversation offers practical insights to help you build lasting financial confidence.
