Foo Mee Har is a clown. Those who are 55 and above have reaped more benefits than those who are young and just starting out. Letting them continue while depriving the young of it, is definitely far from being fair. They should simply have stopped CPF SA shielding and the problem will be solved. Anyone takes out the money, not allowed to put it back again. Period. As for the liquidity issue, they should only allow withdrawals once per year from SA/RA. If need liquidity, transfer it to OA and cannot transfer back to RA/SA. Period. EVERYTHING SOLVED! My suspicion is the banks are draining funds and needing cash. And this is an attempt to bolster the banking reserves, by indirectly causing a pushing out effect. I could be wrong...and I hope I am. But if I am right, this is a very bad sign.
Yes, what alot of ppl don't realise is that CPF LIFE pays u back (on a monthly basis) whatever amount u used to join it at 65 1st....then from age 80++ onwards, those monthly payouts that u get is from the interest pooled from all members.... Realistically, how many of us can live past 80? Plus once u KO after 80, yr beneficiaries won't get anything since the premium is used up already by then & the interest pooled is only meant for the CPF LIFE members IMO, I'll just meet FRS & invest the rest outside of CPF so that my beneficiaries will get at least get something
I think we have to localised it. Your studies are all in the States. USD has been depreciating against SGD. 3.1 in the 1970s to 1.3 now. Hence there is FX risk and if the States continues to borrow, USD depreciation will continue with this SG Govt continues to be prudent in comparison.
My idea is to at least meet FRS and then top up RA with about 80k from OA so that the monthly payout is slightly higher than without top up. Then invest the rest of the withdrawable amount from OA. That way i still have a mix of liquidity and slightly higher monthly payout. It's about not putting your eggs in one basket
For equity investments outside of CPF you need to say a few words about sequence of returns risk. That's where your stocks tank 40% on the day you retire and take a few years to recover. During that time any withdrawals can have such a bad effect on the portfolio that it's struggles to ever recover. Also S+P returns may average 10% but they are volatile and can be -30% one year and +25% the next. It takes a very strong mentality to stay the course , ride out the dips and not sell in a panic.
When old got so much money also can’t even travel and enjoy etc. just enjoy the moment and your current life. No one can predict the future. No need to save so much at the expense of suffering now
Biggest issue with CPF Life is that it earns ZERO interest once the payout starts. The 6.9% yield calculation is wrong, when it is actually drawing from the principal sum, rather then actually generating a true yield.
See it as an annuity. CPFLife is not an investment. Instead of dividend yield, I guess you should see it as how we can extract maximum value from it instead of seeing it as an investment
Polices risk is huge. Government can change it any time. Increase the age for withdraw, age for retirement, amount required for to be in retirement account, reduced in interest rate, and the list goes on. If you did a quick math, to achieve the previous 1M65 goal, the biggest compounding interest comes from the last 10 years between 55 - 65.
@@StickMan_Clara Yea, of course, my point is, if you plan to locked your money somewhere, you should be certain about the return. I don't think you will want to lock always your money in a fixed deposit that promise 4% and 1 month later they changed to 1% because FED reduces ir, which deemed fair.
By the time I turn 65 years old, $4300 will be the new minimum wage. lol I work a low(er) wage manual job. Besides meeting ERS will be a challenge. I'm not sure even I could live until my late 60s. Physical, dangerous work and odd hours (from working shifts) all have a negative impact on longevity.
So is there a better way to save up for retirement in your opinion? For those who have low wages it is harder. The only other one I can think of is Singapore savings bonds..
i prefer top up ERS cause when we are old shouldn't bother anymore about the money, just steady pun pipi get monthly pay out that is good enough why still need to chasing high interest when u are old enough.
you forgot to factor in the fact that equities have volatility. the returns are not a linear graph. it's spotty. what if there is a 70% crash along the way? this is retirement fix income, cannot have wild fluctuations right?
imagine...that amount of money being frozen in the ERS account at a stage where you are deteriorating. i believe that 3300$ will not be sufficient to survive on esp when your insurance premiums will max out and you health and mobility starts to wane. On the other hand , not many people are well versed in investments. the market doesnt guarantee 10% roi. it is so volatile. i believe adopting a middle road, use both methods.
now the strategy is to max out FRS during working years, to earn the 4% risk free... then when can draw out, leave only BRS so that you minimize 4% going to the 'common pool' from 55/65 yrs old onwards.. 4% of the final retirement amount at 55/65 yrs old is a big sum.. and to miss out on the 4% growth compounded over 15-20yrs (65 till 85yrs for example) is substantial..
Very nicely explained. Only one point I can add is that the CPF life interest is pooled after the age of 65 and not available. So the returns are good if you live beyond 85. If you die early, the returns are only around 2-3%
@leh57 I have no issue with that. My family won't rely on my CPF's interest to enjoy their life. Those live longer will continue to get annuity and might appreciate our "contribution".😅
Assume u know how to invest, many cannot, if can all will be warren buffet la. Only one warren so my advice is don’t act smart. N many will waste the money on women, etc etc. once no job n relax, temptation n will spend more
For an investment portfolio, the worst scenario to occur is when drawing out money in a bear market. Imagine your portfolio is already down 20 to 30% and you still need to draw down your portfolio by 4% during that period, this will cause your portfolio to downsize even more and wipe out the compounded gains achieved earlier. Of course CPF LIFE monthly payments is fixed and need not worry about such Sequence of Returns risks inherent with any investment portfolio.
CPF is your basic safety net. that's all you need to know about what you should be doing with it. there are other things you will need like helmet, visors, gloves etc that the net will never be no matter how big it is.
Do you really think we can live that long? I seriously doubt so…. It would be a big bonus if I can live past 60. Quite a few people I know passed away in their 50s. Everyday is a gift 💝and blessing 🙏🏼 Live your best life now, do not just plan for the future.
You are influenced by your life experience. Not a good thing to see those you know die early. Thankful that those I know are still going well past 50s & 60s.
Dont worry next budget, something will change again and this will keep on changing until before we are 65.. maybe retirement age change to 80.. maybe 0% interest rate.. who knows
From all your comments you just seem bitter. Obviously things like what you say won't happen. Just keep thinking like that to give excuses for not planning and mindlessly spending.
I had an Uncle who had been diligently topping up his CPF all his life. He trust in the system so much. Lived a relatively healthy life with the occasional indulgences had hoped to enjoy his Retirement. One fine day when before he reached his 65th Birthday, he suddenly had a Major Stroke and passed away not long after. In the end, all his hard work and savings all went down the drain. 🙂
I believe topping up CPF has nothing to do with your uncle dying at age 65. Besides, if someone who is not suicidal can predict his death, he is a prophet.
Would it be better to invest in SG dividend paying stocks/REITs instead of the 4% drawdown from a portfolio. This is to avoid the volatility & currency risk from USD to SGD
from 55 to 65. delaying the payout year...now people are talking about 70 for even higher payout.. I guess many peoples be worried they don't have the life to spend it, rather than worry how long can the money last in the account. I cannot believe the intelligence of my own people here anymore. fyi my late father passed away 64 from terminal illness😢 can still talk about higher payouts??
Should FRS or ERS depend on how much % is this to your total asset that generate income? Say if it is within 10% then ERS is ok but if above 25% stay FRS and do fort. Is this thought process a better way to decide if the first level of getting a safe fixed income is cleares
Selection of Basic plan encompass an annuity premium payable of between 10% to 20% at time of buying CPF Life, is this taken into consideration in the yield?
At time 09:42, Kelvin said that there are 2 cons for CPF Life: 1. CPF Life or RA is illiquid: but it's not a fair comparison to private investment scenario as you would also be tied down to the private investment in order to give you the 5% to 9% in the illustration. 2. CPF Life payout will go down in the future due to aging population and that the more affluent SG will likely reached the FRS and therefore less money to share amongst the members: I actually don't understand this logic. Moreover, what each member gets is tied to his/her individual funds in RA so why would the aging population affect the CPF Life payout. @kelvin Learns Investing, could you kindly elaborate on this point please?
1. Cash investment can be liquidated during emergencies 2. By right more ppl means more funds to go around and be invested yes? But because the funds need to be liquid and be paid out, not every fund can be invested, but u still need to pay up 6%. In that case, you can end up in a situation where they are more members sharing the pool, hence lower payout
@@KelvinLearnsInvesting thanks for your explanation. I don't quite agree with your point. Cpf is on an individual account basis and not a pooled basis (like those in Europe). So technically what you explained shouldn't apply.
Thats apple to oranges what ! comparing RA 4 percent vs 10 percent assumed market return ?! risk free must compare likewise ma.....ok ok....CPF not actually risk free....there is policy (change) risk
for the rest of our life ..Brother. you talk like berry easy. most of us oredy 55 or 60+. . how many more years(day$) can count oredy still want to deplay the paydate?? Ho Say Boh?
I hate it when the analysis is half past six. If you run the spreadsheet, you will know. The best deal is 4 x ERS and go with Basic plan. There is no way as a 65 years old retiree you want to take a risk with your life savings dabbling with investments.
I just bought BRK after earnings and huge Cash stockpile 160B+ warren doesnt know what to do NOW...lost me one tbousand on volitility trading , got out cut loss with gains in Others. Be carefulnwhst you see orvwhat you wish for. On thr other gand. If yoi got a 30 - Year investment horizon, your BKR should be safe abd enjoy 1,000% RETURNS
All Singaporeans must take heed of pap Government as they always shifting the goalpost at the expense of interest of the citizens as more and more foreigners to replace Singaporeans.
I am more concerned about not dying than dying young. Also, i don't think you want to be concerned about market volatilities and depreciating USD in your 80s or later. So I am more inclined towards the escalating plan.
If you delay getting your mthly payouts fm 65 to 68 or 70, you only rec a higher payout mthly for each deferred year, not for the rest of your life! So, for example, if you delay to 68, then at age 68, 69 and 70, you will rec a higher payout mthly than should you choose to rec it at age 65.

All Singaporeans must take heed of pap Government as they always shifting the goalpost at the expense of interest of the citizens as more and more foreigners to replace Singaporeans.
Why do you say ‘replace’? You mean Singaporeans go missing? Migrate? Or not having children? Or unwilling to do low paying jobs?
CPF Board has to use the skillfuture to send their staff to upgrade their skills so that the welfare of Singaporeans can be better served.
How come u said drop to $500 after 85?? How your math?? Tot the payout is the same as last withdrawal from the common pool???
Factor in inflation, the purchasing power drops
U mean after 85 , the initial $3300 draw is only valued at $500 worth????😮
Any question will be, what if other investment goes south which is also possible, instead of 7% average gained, it can be minus 7% or more.
I am more concerned about not dying than dying young. Also, i don't think you want to be concerned about market volatilities and depreciating USD in your 80s or later. So I am more inclined towards the escalating plan.
By the time you retire, the cost of living will be 4 to 5 times higher. You will retire is misery and your family will suffer.
ERS your moneys is safe. Investment at your own risk ⚠️.
U have mortality risk.
We have longevity risk
not forgetting policy risk
i need to pause and rewind your video, you are too fast😂

If you delay getting your mthly payouts fm 65 to 68 or 70, you only rec a higher payout mthly for each deferred year, not for the rest of your life! So, for example, if you delay to 68, then at age 68, 69 and 70, you will rec a higher payout mthly than should you choose to rec it at age 65.
