    Hi Kelvin, thank you for your informative videos on CPF. I would like to check on your opinions regarding cash top ups to SA / MA. If there is still an option to top up the MA, would you recommend topping up to MA instead of SA? From what I understand, direct cash top ups to SA cannot be "shielded" at 55. Aside to the above point, is there any disadvantage for choosing to top up MA instead of SA?

  • @soulawaken24
    @soulawaken24 Жыл бұрын

    On the topic of topping up SA ourselves, IIRC that the amount we top up into our SA (and their compound interest over the years) is reserved and cannot be invested, hence cannot be shielded at age 55. So that means the option of topping up SA ourselves to reduce taxable income will come with a side effect of giving up most of CPF SA shielding. That's still the case right?

    depends in tax bracket. But if tax bracket is low, likely the person have lower income and lower liquidity. OA provides more liquidity than SA. Tax relief is also compounding btw, put in the tax savings to invest for 1% also better than pax tax

    Kelvin, great video as always. Pls note that for balance in OA or SA/MS you won't get 2.5% & 4% respectively on the full amount inside these accounts. The interests are capped at a certain amount - or else CPF will lose money.. If its for full balance I will park all my Money in SA - 5% is better than rental anytime.

Some say when hit 60+ u reap the rewards..no.. dollar value for old age is different, many things u use at 65 is different u use as a young adult..is pointless u enjoy at 65 then die at 75..if 10 years is a shiok period,,what’s the point u slave now to 65 for a life ? Don’t believe me go do a survey for those age 65 and above, ask them they enjoy life or ??
