Hi Vivian,

Other than the first $5000 of your OA and SA, which can definitely be withdrawn at 55, you can only withdraw the rest CPF monies once you either

Set aside FRS
Set aside BRS with a property pledge

When you say 'invest', do you mean to put money in your SA, or actively invest the money in SA into assets like UTs? I would recommend that SA money be left as it is, a 4% guarantee is very hard to find.

You can withdraw all the eligible savings in full, partially, and as often as you may like after you...
