I'm currently dating a guy who has HDB debts (from parents) of over 30K, despite earning 3.5K/ month. He struggles with savings. What is the best solution to clear this debt?

Get him to allocate a portion of his salary immediately each month e.g. 1k to repay the debt, then manage with the rest.

take home 2.8k

​

save maybe 1.5k per month

​

1 yr 1.5k x 12 = 18k

​

haven factor in any bonuses

​

can pay off in less than 2 yrs

​

struggle with savings? that will be an attitude/mentality problem

Talk to HDB to repay the HDB loan as quickly as possible. Delay immediate gratification. Focus on needs and not wants.

In a joint tenants situation, touch wood if one of the parent have left, the other party who is usually the spouse will take over the flat and the flat loan if they have Home Protection Scheme "should" be fully paid up.

​

HPS is compulsory and can be paid by CPF fund or by cash.

​

HPS will not be in effect if the parents are over 65 year old or due to

• they were not in good health before the commencement of HPS cover, or​
• they provided false or misleading information, or​
• ​the claim arose from wars or any warlike operations or participation in any riot​

Hopfully that wasn't the case and he just took over theHDB loan due to fillial piety.

​

The Best Solution to clear this debt is to focus on clearing this debt in 3 years time.

​

$30k/36mth= $833.33

​

I suggested 3 years so you and ur bf can have an easier time with a lower amount to repay per month.
