Good loans are those that even a high interest savings account can potentially beat the interest rates (anything that is 2.6% and below). You should stretch your dollar to invest those monies (as long as you can afford the cashflow for 1 year).

Bad loans are those that is above 4% p.a. this is because, even CPF SA (risk free) cannot beat it. Unless you are able to beat the interest, it does not justify to take that risk.

When is best time to buy annuities for retirement income? At young age (<40), it is better to invest for higher gains. Is it better to do it around age 45 as guaranteed return is only about 2.5%?

Why do so many people invest in real estate even though stocks have higher returns in the long-term, are cheaper to buy and require no maintenance costs?
