Should I invest the bulk of my salary and save only a small amount monthly if my emergency funds are already sufficient?

I don't have much in my bank account also. But with the housing and wedding upcoming, I worry that I may not bear to pull out some of my investments when the time comes. Hence, I kept some in high-interest insurance savings plans like Singtel Dash and Singlife. These two accounts are capital guaranteed and there is no lock-in period. So much better than leaving them to rot in the bank.

Awww man, congrats to be you.

Anyway, you need to think about what you want. Personally, I'm of the opinion of, if you already have your emergency funds, you can probably scale back on the saving to your main bank account and to invest it.

The next big problem is what to invest it in. Not all have the nerve or daring to pick individual stocks, reits or ETFs at first. My advice, ask your financial advisor on what kind of investment you can start off with. DO NOT COMMIT. Have him justify what kind of investment you can do, and why, and the timelines needed.

Good luck.

Remember friends, profits and losses are probable, but inflation erosion of cash value is a definite.

I feel it depends on your risk appetite and your conviction towards your investments. With your 10k in cash and ~6k savings a year, you should probably have enough in 6 years time for your house downpayment (assuming BTO) and a modest wedding.

if you feel your job is an iron rice bowl, it can afford you the option to take more risks in terms of investment. If you have conviction in your investments, you know they will do well in the long term and hence won't panic sell when there is market volatility.
