Financial Goals

 Many people do have different interpretations of what being financially capable is like. 

One group considers having a house and a car to be financially capable. Others to have a house, car and passive income to generate enough funds for the long term.

For me, I do have some considerations:
1) to be able to pay for my children's education

2) to be able to retire when my first child has his/her own children and that Jenny and I will be able to take care of the grandchildren together without worrying too much on income. 

3) to take care of my wife. This sounds a little vague but the idea is to allow her not to have to work too hard/to be able to take part time/ have no job to be able to do her own things at home.


As such, I have laid out these considerations in the following chart.

It seems buying a 3rd property and keeping the other 2 rented seems like an ideal choice.

Have to take note of the ABSD (which will lower net worth) and that the 3rd property may be a smaller one.
