Hihi, thank you for taking the time to answer my query. I was trying my luck and wasn’t really expecting a reply! Excuse me while I have a fan girl moment! 😍😍😍
The post which you recommended for my reading was the post that got me started thinking about my parents cpf! I tot it was a really brilliant idea! Would never have occurred to me 😂
We’re thinking to get the best of both worlds by converting my mom to CPF Life and ‘buying’ over my dad’s RA.
We’ll pay him the $XXXX in his RA by topping up my mom’s RA with $XXXX. And then convert my mom to CPF Life at 70 so they can get a fixed payment for the rest of my mom’s life.
Not sure if hopefully is the right word to use in such situations, but statistically speaking, women usually outlive men, so that’s the bet we’re taking.
At the same time, we’ll top up my dad’s RA to eventually hit $30k while leaving him on the old scheme (i.e. Retirement Sum Scheme) so that we can get the 6% interest. This 6% will also be able to help us provide more for them if needed.
Would like to run it by you to see if there are any insights/ different perspective that we missed.

It is a win win situation for the parents and for the child.
Brilliant, she is!
