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!

This morning, Uncle8888 withdrew $24K CPF OA+SA interests via PayNow and received the money almost immediately.


Sources of Cash In for 2019

SRS + CPF Interests (Tap 1) + 

Cash Dividends and divestment gains (Tap 3) + 

Extra side income (Mini Tap 4) from freelance B.M.W. activity roaming across the island of Singapore.


CPF Interests Withdrawal



1) Deducted interests from SA first i.e. Jan to Nov (11 months) is 1,529.77

2) Remaining balance deducted from OA i.e. $22.470.23

  1. CPF PayNow limit daily limit is $200K.

    Will CPF approve transfer immediately or they need to check and verify before transfer?

  2. "Care to share why 1st week of Dec?"

    Prob coz CPF doesn't pro-rate for partial month, hence no diff 1st Dec or 31st Dec.

    This the dilemma if still got substantial portion in SA, coz of CPF tiered withdrawal.

    Else if only OA, then better to wait for full 12 mths interest to be credited in early-Jan, & withdraw that amount from OA in Jan.

    1. CPF counter staff told in Jan. The interests earned on previous year will be consolidated as principal. Since there is no interests earned in Jan, withdrawal will be deducted from principal SA and followed by OA

    2. Ya lorr ... that's why if still got SA, would be better to withdraw interests in Dec ... sacrifice the small compounding effect in Dec in order to preserve SA principal. ;)

    3. Hi, maybe I miss out something. Does it matter if it is interest or principal? Say you have $100 and earn $4 interest this year. If you withdraw $4 on Dec 31 it is called interest withdrawal; if you withdraw $4 on Jan 1st next year, it is called principal withdrawal. But in either way, your financial situation is the same right? (neglect the interest of the one day difference)

    4. As principal withdrawal starts from CPF SA first; it only matters to those members who wish to preserve that 4% interest generating scheme in CPF SA.

      Once CPF SA is depleted; it doesn't matter anymore. We can do monthly withdrawal from CPF.

  4. Government is encouraging people to top up CPF so unlikely this goal post will shift

  5. On this topic, one of my friend shifted a large portion of his SA to buy a product before 55 and sold it after 55. Hence, he got a large SA after 55 to earn interest on. Real story.

    1. To beat SA compounding interests of 4% is not easy. I thought investing SA is quite limited.

    2. Hmm unless one can already meet the Min Sum or half-Min Sum w/ Prop Pledge, else when sell that product, CPF will auto xfer from SA to RA to meet the Min Sum shortfall?

      You can't use the same loophole as for HDB housing loan & OA :O

      CPF has greatly reduced eligible investments for SA. And the only one i find acceptable should be invested using SA only during recessions when most stock mkts have alrdy dropped by 40% or more. Hoho!

      As I turned 55 this year, a sum of $161,000 - the so-called Full Retirement Sum - was transferred from my CPF Special Account to the newly created CPF Retirement Account. After this sum has been set aside for my basic retirement needs, I can choose to take out whatever remaining balances I have in my CPF Ordinary and Special Accounts if I want to.
