How should I plan my budget having just emptied my savings and cpf account to fully pay up my apartment? I will probably be working for another 30 years and assuming my take home stays at $3800.?

I’m starting from ground zero basically. I’m a single who loves to travel. So we have to take into account saving for travels too. I travel budget though. Twice a year should be about $5-7k. Thanks so much in advance for all the advice! ☺️

Hi first thing: Congrats to having a fully paid up apartment in your name!

Following which do look into your current plans for the future to see if you have any other milestones to store liquid cash for.
Please also ensure you have an emergency fund - one year of your expenses would be beneficial.
If you have not been investing now is a good time to start! Read up about ETFs, UTs and Robo Advisors for a start 🙂

26 years old just started working with less than $1.5K take home pay right after national service. How much should he be saving already? Is 20K good enough? And should he find a better job or stick for another year for a better portfolio?

a savings plan that pay 10years roll another 5 yrs. Each mth pay 450$. At the end of 15 years.. Probably abt 64k, best is 74k. Continue with this plan or change to investment plan? 5 mths into it. ?

Would my insurance saving plan - Manulife Ready Builder still take effects/continues on, if am not working? I have sign up for this plan when i open an Multiplier account with DBS two years back.

We used CPF to pay HDB. But after we fully paid using CPF after 25 years loan, we sell the house to buy another, why are we still paying the interest in the loan when the CPF money should belong to us? What do you guys think?

My hubby and I will get a home in a year. Our renovation budget is $50,000. We are saving $4,000/month. Instead of keeping the money in a savings account, how should we invest it even for just a year?
