Were you ever once afraid govt would change the CPF structure so significantly that you would end up on sort of a “losing end”?

I believe in you and how you reaped success growing your money through CPF, but yet I have a certain distrust for keeping my money with big bro

The single biggest risk of the 1M65 strategy is policy and political risk. Could the Govt change it policy on CPF negatively and affect millions of Singapore? Of course. But what are the chances of that happening? If they hit the CPF with a negative change, it would carry a high political cost, Singaporeans might take it up with the ruling party during elections. Would the Govt risk it?

The only two scenarios for a CPF negative adjustment would be when we have a rouge Govt, voted in by popular mistake, and they ruin the country and deplete our CPF. Or when there is a severe and prolong economic crisis that hit Singapore. When that were to happen, many other investment tools will also collapse in SG, including your S$ deposits. CPF might still likely be the least worst option for you then.

remember : there is NO investment with NO risk. So you have to assess the risk vs the returns.

Nope lol. Unless they want to get voted out

Unlikely, in fact I see the structure has been improving. ...
