I feel like with CPF, I am not in control of how much I want to save and spend as compared to investment. What are your thoughts on this?

How does CPF make a better retirement savings plan if I am unable to control the money that goes in and out of it?

Hi Anon,

I am sure everyone feel the same way - this is something that I feel strongly about- 37% of my gross salary goes into CPF but somehow not many people think of optimising it.

Invest it, or do the OA to SA transfer, I think most importantly we should take ownership of our own money and try to do more with our CPF.

I did a webinar on this topic btw, hope you find it helpful!

I wanted to open a Pruwealth account to save up however was advised to invest instead of using stashaway as I do not have any knowledge on investments as I'm not much of a risk taker. Any thoughts?

How much should one have in investments & liquid savings at age 27/28? Like a benchmark? Any peers my age can share some numbers? Currently I have about 105k or so in both investments + savings.

I'm currently Year 2 in university and my peers are already investing and I feel like I'm lagging behind them because I'm not investing. I do want to be rich but is investing for everyone?

A bit late but wanted to share this 1M65 (1 million by 65) free CPF calculator. Thought it's a pretty interesting concept on how to utilise your CPF! Feel free to share any feedback/comments here!?

Before saving $100k by 30 was a thing, how much did people usually aim to save by 30? I feel like I need to manage my expectations a bit... Anyone care to share what's more realistic (if any)?
