This kinda figures in the cpf a/c nowadays is quite common among the conservative people in the workforce... Those who bought 4 or 5 room new HDB flat 20+yrs ago @ averaging150k would have easily paid off the loan much earlier... Their cpf would have started accumulating after their HDB loan was cleared..View attachment 174916

What is the point of having 3.5% per annum when inflation is almost double at 6.7%?If oppies took advantage of CPF's compounding power at about 3.5 % per annum for 35 years or so of working, they would easily saved a few hundred thousand dollars in their CPF already. Can retire to johor or batam like they always threatened and take advantage of those countries depreciating currencies.
Exactly, what is there to show for what is in your cpf. The bigger amount in it, imo, the more foolish you are. This is not your money as you have no control over it.Of what use is it if you die before you can withdraw them? Money that you spent was truly yours, it’s otherwise mere digits in an account.
This is wrong info and inaccurate advice.Exactly, what is there to show for what is in your cpf. The bigger amount in it, imo, the more foolish you are. This is not your money as you have no control over it.
The only way this money can move is only when you passed away and give it to your children. That is when the control of this money is given up to people that can have total control over it, when you die and your children get it. ( provided you want to have children in this ripped off country Singapore)
At age 55, having this amount is not bad. He is drawing $2,880 almost risk-free passive income every month without touching his capital (albeit this amount will dwindle as he withdraws).I know of plenty who has this and more in their CPF and/or bank accounts.
However they are the minority.
I am not giving advice. I am stating facts. Are u someone who can manage ur life and money by yourself better than what the govt offer to u. If u are, then cpf is a waste of time.This is wrong info and inaccurate advice.
