"Aiyoh, people so sour grape to say you how lian!"

An email from a very regular reader:

Saw your post on CPF balance. 

Aiyoh, people so sour grape to say you how lian. 







But nevermind, I support you to be how lian, k?


SMOL's comments soooo hilarious. Really made my day! ROFL. 


Honestly, OA savings aside, I think growing the SA is quite achievable.








In Jan 2008, I only had $17,084 in my SA, accumulated through the course of my active employment. 

Was contemplating to do the transfer earlier but decided to keep the money in OA for investments. 








I first transferred some funds from OA to SA in 2009 and by end 2009, I had $52,893 in SA after earning $1670 interest for the year.  

In 2010 I didn’t do anything cos I resigned from XXX and took 6 months sabbatical to finish my Masters.


No income, so nothing much to transfer. :P







Then I resumed the transfer in 2011 to 2013 till I met the prevailing CPF ceiling. 

My CPF-SA now stands at $182,213.73 after earning $7,474 of interest last year.







This year there will be more contributions accumulated since the ceiling has been raised to $6K. Happy!

So, don't say it cannot be done.

Never try, why say cannot?

Don't sour grapes.

Grapes can be sweet.





I know because I am eating sweet ones now.
