Saving for an early retirement

Dear Mr. Tan,
I am in my mid 20s. I need your advise on planning for retirement, savings and life protection. Frankly speaking, I have checked many products and are confused with what I need. I do not have much spare cash in the past as I have dependants.

My current pay allows me to set aside about 20% for savings. If I have $500 a month, what are the insurance/ savings I should save? Can I plan for a comfortable retirement at 50 years old?

My agent recommended me Vivolife, limited payment for 10 yrs. But I am also not sure if the critical illness portion is guranteed. Based on my savings, should I buy Vivolife? Or go into endowment? Or save up as cash? Or medical?
