I am 27YO, with $55k cash savings and $30k invested in SGX shares. For the monies already invested, I will be leaving it in there for the long run. What can I do with my remaining cash savings?

My wedding is in 2022 and will also be receiving keys to my BTO in Q4 2022, so I will need the cash by then. Approx. $10k for wedding and $25k for Renovation.

I don’t like to take loans, so I am not intending to take any sort of renovation/wedding loans.

Your time period is quite short. It might be more prudent to put at least $35k in high-interest savings accounts or in insurance plans such as Gigantiq. At the very least, your capital is guaranteed. I would not put this amount in cash management accounts or in short-term endowment plans as I prefer to sacrifice higher returns for flexibility and capital preservation.

As for the remaining $20k, it is really dependent on you.

I deposited $30k into StashAway as investment rather than leaving it in the bank as that is my spare cash. Now I’m thinking could I have used the 30k and invest in elsewhere more profitable. Any advice?

If I were to have cash on hand ($30k) and cpf-oa @ 2.5% ($30k) and am taking up a bank loan at 1.5%, would it be advisable for me to clear my housing loan or let the cpf remain in OA or invest in ?

I am a 27yo beginner in Investing, able to set aside $400 monthly. Looking at RSP of $200 on FSMONE VOO and Saving up the remaining $200 & Invest it quarterly. What are your thoughts and advice about this?

Is it really worth it to invest in VOO or other ETFs via a regular shares savings plan? Or is it better to invest a lump sum and hold it for the long term?
