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!

  1. I topped up my RA using cash to the prevailing ERS of $271,500. Moving forward I will continue to top up my RA to future prevailing ERS annually.
    I do use some of OA to buy bank stocks since March Covid19 and will continue to do so when the price makes sense

  2. Congratulations Siew Mun. Very well planned and executed move, especially on your dual shielding of your OA & SA last month! Think you are the only one who has successfully pulled that off!

  3. CPF is nest egg and safety net. Purpose of having a safety net is so that one dares to take risk in more dangerous stuff for higher returns. However, one should not take risk with the safety net itself. That is how I will manage my own money.

  4. I also read this article this morning. Just feel that the guy is funny when no one can force or con him into using his CPF for investment. Maybe it is just a “foil” by some organization to create awareness?

    My friend just asked me if he should use his CPF to invest. I told him to just let it compound.

    Use SRS to invest is better!

      RETIRED sailor Goh Tor Zin said he lost $350,000 of his Central Provident Fund savings through bad stock market investments, and yesterday made a radical suggestion at a ministerial dialogue.

      The 59-year-old Kampong Kembangan resident sought a ban on using CPF money for such investments, saying the CPF scheme should stick to its original aims of helping Singaporeans save for their retirement, medical and housing needs: 'When I retired, I collected only $35,000. I lost $350,000. The sum may be small for some, but for me, I can buy many packets of chicken rice.'

      Mr Goh, who is unmarried and lives with his 91-year-old father in a five-room Lengkong Tiga flat, said he made a similar suggestion to the CPF when he collected his CPF money on turning 55: 'They told me that I don't have to buy (shares), and that no one forced me to do so. I said, 'Yes if you don't sell drugs, I won't buy drugs. So you are not wrong, I am also not wrong'.'

  5. Hi Uncle8888,

    So another data point of being able to do "property refund" back to OA even after 55... 🤔

    1. Can MPs pick up this and submit as one of motions on how to help senior Singaporean to make their excess cash work harder? In CPF, we trust!
