What are your thoughts on full time job with no CPF contributions? I am a fresh graduate and I would want to settle down in about 3 years. Do you think putting in your own CPF contribution is needed?

Is putting in your own CPF contribution is needed?

Do you mean being self-employed? If you're self-employed, you'll have to make mandatory contributions to your CPF-MA if you earn above $6,000 per year. If you're asking if you should make regular contributions to your OA to prepare for housing payments in the future, I think it's not necessary. However, I do think it's beneficial. This is because it helps you to:

Save up for your house (prevents you from spending hehe)
Earn 2.5% interest rate (which is much better than any bank account, cash management solution out there)
Keep your money safe

I am a fresh graduate (Free from debt) started my full time job. I wanted to start investing to have side income instead of using my time to trade for money(part time tuition) can you please advise me how do I start investing?

Hi I am a recent graduate who is currently working full time 3 months into the job, I feel that this job is not what I want to do and wna leave, but if I were to switch, will it reflect badly on me?

I'm a fresh grad and just started my first full-time job. I am planning to do a $5k(from my savings) voluntary contribution to my CPF account. Is this the best way to use the 5k?

Currently an undergrad, was thinking if I should put $30k into Endowus' new Ultra Defensive Portfolio (100% bonds) assuming that I will need these funds to pay off my tuition fees in 3 years' time?

Would you rather buy everything you want but have to work full-time for 50 years or half of everything you want and only work full-time for 35 years?
