I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Turning 55 - and enjoying financial freedom (8)


Read? Turning 55 - and enjoying financial freedom (7)


Read? 1M65 CPF OA Possible Or Not???


Counting interests no stress unlike collecting dividends as Panadols when sitting on paper losses.

Uncle8888 has already withdrawn $23K from CPF SA and CPF OA in Dec 2017


CPF OA = $21,478 +  $3,267 = $24,745

CPF SA = $1,522 +  $139 = $1,661

CPF MA = $2,145

CPF RA = $7,556

Total = $36K or $3K per month


Since there is no more mandatory CPF contributions after his retirement from full-time job as employee and he still says NO to voluntary CPF top up to all 3 CPF accounts. 

Currently; he only contributes to CPF MA as self-employed for his 8 HWW + XX Hours Variable WW so that he will qualify for Workfare as low income worker. This is money from Government and not CPF interests!


This is how he accumulates $1M in CPF OA!

Voluntary CPF Top Up

  1. Hoho ... my test comment succeeded ... been having disappearing comments for past few weeks :P

    Anyway good job Uncle8888!!! :)

    Oh ... I learnt something new ... interest from RA can also be withdrawn.

    I'm guessing this only applies to those on MSS and not those on CPFLife??

    1. Ooops my bad ... read wrongly ... tot u withdraw total $36K.

      For a min there tot ah gong became so generous hahaha!!

      hmmm you know wat?

      From your retirement funds, many people may be better off focusing on their jobs, skills & income/sales-generating abilities AND savings, rather than on investing / trading!! LOL!!!

      Problem is this requires a stable job or industry, at least median income or higher, no splurging on property, using cash to service mortgage and/or topping up CPF... But nowadays people want to FI before 40 and not at 55 or 60 hoho!!

      Off-topic: Buffett confirmed to have won bet against active-investing hedge funds.

      Good job on him to also more than double the cash pot for charity to USD2.2M

  6. Hi Uncle CW,

    Huat ah! Power! But nowaday all use CPF to pay house. Even mandatory contribution also doesn't have much compounding effect already.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Even you have uses CPF to pay house. Your CPF OA is compounding at 2.5% CAGR in your retained interests in property value of your house when you sell it before 55 as payback to CPF OA as Accrued interests unless your SA has exceeded FRS.

    In another word; you still have that compounding CPF OA interests effect.

    1. Don't think I will try this year to test the training received by CPF counter staff. :-)

    2. Just withdraw $139 interests in SA should not be an issue as it would not hit the principal in SA and OA.
