For a 58 year old this year with only 35k in RA, and a liquid and safe investment of 50k that returns 2.5% annually (not referring to OA). Should we move the 50k into RA or remain?

What should you do? Consider that a person is 58 this year with only 35k in RA, and a liquid and safe investment of 50k that returns 2.5% annually (not refering to OA here). Assume that house is fully paid, with sufficient cash on hand for daily expenses, would it be better to topup the 50k into RA, or leave it as it is.

CPF life will still offer the best payout over times. Consider putting into RA (up 7% return annually) as this person is 58, when reach 65 payout will start.

I am a 28 year old guy who's aiming to get married in the next 5 years. I am new to investing as well, could you advise me an investment type that could earn me decent returns within 3-7 years?

I am 25yo this year, saved around 50k. Been doing fixed deposits for quite a few years recently took out as I am planning to do investment, Are there any investments with higher returns than fixed deposit?

I have around two thirds of my investable CPF OA invested in T-Bills and am tempted to invest the remaining one third into it. Is this a wise move ? Currently don't intend to purchase a property

I am totally new, almost 40 years old and would like to start investing. I read a bit of the forum mentioned that it might be recommended to invest in ETF. Where can I refer to for more articles?

My flat is 70% paid up. My CPF OA is 10k, SA is 60k. By year end I will be 55. Can I still use 20k of my SA to invest before my RA is created? If yes, what are some of the investments to go for short term?
