Hi CW
ReplyDeleteMay I ask:
1) your tap 2 includes interest from RA. I thought that is untouchable as it's meant for building up cpf life payout?
2) why did u separate interest from OA & SA under 2 different taps?
Thanks
As we grow older; we are likely to spend more and more on medical and healthcare and lesser on e.g. leisure and grooming needs.
DeleteWe know that we can tap on RA/CPF Life from 65 onwards; but from the time when I retired @ 60 there is 5 years gap before touching RA/CPF Life @ 65 as source of additional self-insured medical and healthcare on top of MA and Medishield life.
To close up this 5 years gap between 60 to 65; I have dedicated SA to close up this gap i.e. whatever yearly interests from SA will be reserved for medical & health care expenses. If not spend; the saving will be accumulated and by 65 RA there will be more funding for this purpose.
No matters how hard we can work on our physical body; what is internal to us i.e. our organ and tissues we cannot really do much about them as we can't see and touch them. That is life of aging. Bo pian!
Like my investing strategy; I maintain 4 separate accounts for expenses, saving (emergency), investment and FDs (war chests).
When I retire; I don't have anymore company provided medical benefits so I build one for myself and my spouse.
In short
OA - for household expenses
MA, SA, RA, Medishield and $50K+ (FD yearly rollover) for medical and healthcare fund
Hi CW
ReplyDeleteThanks for your detailed explanation. From your experience, after age 55, can we continue to use OA funds for stocks? And does $ go back to OA when we sell those stocks?
After 55 we can maintain CPFIS. Dividends go back to OA for compound 2.5% interests. It is good to maintain CPFIS until one is fully retire from full-time job and then explore the merit of maintaining CPFIS as it will be more tricky in term of cash flow for living expenses. Another scope for deep thought.
DeleteNot easy to understand CPF withdrawal scheme as retirees.
