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!

Real CPF OA and SA balances for Singaporeans when they were in their 40s


Read? Singaporeans' education, employment, wage outcomes have improved over the generations: MOF study

 Hmm ...

 So FAs are right. 

 Many Singaporeans cannot depend on their CPF to retire!

 Uncle8888 is with Gen 2 (as at June 1999)

    Hi Uncle8888,

    Gen 2 & Gen 3 emphasis on property & upgrading. May still be better off than leaving in CPF. Just that now the headache is how to monetise the capital stuck inside brick & mortar, without affecting their current lifestyle? Most solutions will require some downgrade of living standard.

    Big jump from Gen 3 to Gen 4. I suspect due to higher education & hence salaries, as well as reduced emphasis on upgrading or investment properties unless household income is well above 70th percentile.

    Right now with rental yields of most new condos from 2.5% to 3%, and enbloc potential becoming harder, CPF offers much better risk-reward. Hopefully govt doesn't amend the CPF Act soon! Haha!

    With the 1st timer grants, BTO pricing & average starting salaries of graduates, I think the affordability of HDBs is now almost back to early 1990s or late-1980s level.

    I won't be surprise if Gen 5 OA+SA median balance by 2029 will be $250+K.

    I am Gen 4. I think we should not put too much money in a flat since capital gain is questionable unless you intend to monetise it by renting out after enjoying all the free money cpf grants when purchasing time.

      True. Buying flat two or more level below our means will put more money in CPF to compound and bigger cpfis as war chest
