Very well explained Christopher👍. At least you dwell on the changes and let it settle in 1st before coming on to explain to the audience. Unlike some youtubers. Agreed that we can get emotional on the changes but dont act on emotions. Thanks once again🙏
Christopher and team should work with MOE to do a short Financial talks to Secondary schools students. Why wait to be a working adults to learn financial planning. Could start from either lower or higher Secondary , basic financial learning like compound interests, inflation, loans and maybe, CPFLIFE ? Ha .. ha ...
I agree. Not many parents are financially literate. Consequently, their kids learnt the hard way when starting adult life, going through debts and unable to invest since young. I wish organisation like Providence, who put the people's interest at their heart, can provide financial literacy to kids. Thanks.
I have started simple financial literacy with my girl who is in primary school...starting with pocket money savings to grow their savings. Parents can also start teaching from daily life experiences like prices comparison, buy thing which is you need not want....etc
Great video! Thanks Christopher. May I humbly suggest that you advise your TH-camr friend to cool down and stop ranting frivolously. People who are affected by the closure of the SA are the richer folks who may have to other resources for retirement
frs already met when one turn 55 in 2023. Before closing SA in 2025, will govt transfer money from SA to top it to 2025 frs amount ($213, 000 ) before closing it and put whatever leftover to OA?
Dear @Jtsh706, thanks for watching our podcast and for your question. If you have met your FRS in 2023, when 2025 comes, CPFB will not transfer more money from your SA to meet 2025 FRS. Your CPF balance in your SA will be transferred as it is to your OA and your SA will be closed. Hope this clarifies and have a restful week ahead. - Chris
Hi@@Jtsh706, if you are below 55, you may top up your SA up to the current FRS. If you are 55 or above, you may top up your RA up to the current Enhanced Retirement Sum. Hope this helps and have a restful day ahead. - Chris
It’s helps me when RA excess $ will be transfer to OA .. I don’t have to pay a single cent out of my Outstanding hdb loan … .. let in run in CPF -OA 2.5% 😊 No need to take risk on Stock market …Companies can collapse but CPF don’t collapse 😂
Very well explained good job. Not like other TH-camr take advantage of situations and make few videos even before parliament had settled down. U r right actually only a small group of people r affected with little impact.
Everything in life is always better for the rich - not just with SA shielding. By closing SA, they have hurt the poorer elderly the most !It is the rich who can afford to top up ERS.
Talk nuts ....everything need changes ...our health changes when gets older ..but our cpf money got lock and does changes from long release to longer release
If one don’t mind the slightly lower monthly payout on the basic plan as compared to standard plan, would it be more beneficial to opt for the Basic plan ? Is there risk that the Basic plan be removed ?
Hi @sinyeetan28, thank you for your comment. If one doesn't mind slightly lower monthly payout, it would be more beneficial to opt for Basic Plan because it will leave higher bequest to beneficiaries as compared with Standard Plan. Hope this helps and have a good day ahead!
Dear @tanyongboo, Thank you for your question. Yes, if you reach your cohort FRS ($213,000 in 2025) in RA at age 55, you can withdraw the balance amount from your OA. For more CPF-related information, you can check out our CPF FAQs here: providend.com/frequently-asked-questions-about-cpf/ Hope this helps and have a blessed day ahead.
I throw away your book money wisdom. Big nonsense statement about a chef should eat his own cook before serving others. This is liken to financial advisors should buy their own plans before selling to others. A blatant disregard on emphaty towards others with u riding on the high horse. With such statement, u disregard the industry profession. A chef cooking situation and a advisor financial situation is totally different. U mean somebody has to purchase before he or she can sell such purchase to others? What a fallacy
@@cathhl2440 the book itself is dishonorable and blasphemy. You mean a horse owner who just started his business and is not able to afford cannot sell his good horses? The statement of a chef eating his own cook is in a complete situation where the food is perishable and not a delayed gratification product. Its cheap and affordable. A horse owner may not have the financial means to own his own horse at first but he is selling good horses. The book also claim buy term and invest the rest. What if the investment failed and the customer left with absolutely no cover for backup?? The money wisdom book is full of errors and wrong concept. Disregarding advisors who just started out in the industry, showing no empathy towards others except riding his own high white horses. Extremely rude!
Dear firefly4325 I am sorry you feel that way but thank you for visiting our podcast and also attempting to read the book. Have a blessed evening and take care. Chris
My only question is why CPF pushes the drawing out time limit more n more years giving excuses that we are living older n older? Dont one think that many ppl near 70 or 75 yrs old cannot really enjoy much rite? Some even got sick n not fully fit to enjoy . How can they lock out money and always changes ??? Is 10 years changes ..not 5 years .

Agree. Shd be in the school curriculum. Children ought to be taught some basics fr primary sch onw

@@ProvidendSG thank you.
@@Jtsh706 You are most welcome!
@@ProvidendSG allowed to top up frs ourselves to the 2025 frs amount or only can top up ers
Hi@@Jtsh706, if you are below 55, you may top up your SA up to the current FRS. If you are 55 or above, you may top up your RA up to the current Enhanced Retirement Sum. Hope this helps and have a restful day ahead. - Chris
We work hard for it & giving 4% after deducting FRS from SA is a fair deal. We don't have a pension system in this country .
It’s helps me when RA excess $ will be transfer to OA .. I don’t have to pay a single cent out of my Outstanding hdb loan … .. let in run in CPF -OA 2.5% 😊 No need to take risk on Stock market …Companies can collapse but CPF don’t collapse 😂
If I hv cash, will top up our ra to 4 × brs next year. Just let remaining cpf money stay at oa for few more years.😊
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a blessed weekend ahead!
I must say that Jin is getting better and better in moderating the flow. Enjoyed the podcast very much.

only $ in your ATM account is your $. money in CPF is for shiok show only.

Lol if the “primary” purpose of CPF is to give S’porean a comfortable retirement sum ..why use for housing, education etc
The guest is singing the G’s song and focus on SA shielding closure
I don't mind they increase the goal post size rather than shifting the goal post further which will disrupt cashflow planning 😅
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Topping up ERS…goalpost won’t change? 😂
fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me
In 2025, I will be 55 year old.If I can reach the FRA, so can I draw out the balance amount in my OA account thank.

@tanyongboo, Thank you for your question.
Yes, if you reach your cohort FRS ($213,000 in 2025) in RA at age 55, you can withdraw the balance amount from your OA.
