Nominated to be CPF's ambassador?

Reader says...
I wanted to let you know how inspirational your blog has been. 

I have been a quiet reader of your articles and have learnt so much from you regarding the benefits of using CPF as a cornerstone of my investment portfolio.





I was recently called by CPF to share my experiences as a regular user of CPF top up and the mobile app. 

The officers were very impressed at how savvy I was in using the top up schemes for myself and loved ones like my spouse and parents. 





I shared my own experience of topping up Medisave and repaying my OA monies used for down payment.

I credited all of this to your blog and recommended that they should contact you for a chat and be their ambassador. 





Don’t be surprised if you get a call from them! 

Oh, and I got a $20 NTUC voucher from them too!

I hope this serves as another motivation for you to keep talking to yourself.

Ooh. $20 voucher? I like the sound of that. Haha.

I am very happy for you and for all Singaporeans making full use of their CPF membership to help ensure retirement funding adequacy.

I will wait to see if CPF Board gives me a call.

Why should AK care about your CPF savings?

My colleagues have the thinking that they probably won't have chance to take out their CPF money as the govt keep shifting the goalpost.

Hence, since "cannot" take out, might as well use the money to buy another property or upgrade their property.

They don't want to do OA to SA transfer because it means even more no chance take out.

But I say can earn 4% hor.

They don listen. Hmmm...

Like with anything in life, what we believe will determine what we do with our CPF savings.

What I have done in my blog is simply sharing my beliefs and the results which acting on my beliefs have achieved.







Some people share my beliefs and some people don't.

This is life and only natural.

We can bring a horse to water but we cannot make the horse drink the water.






If all else fails, I know I would still have the ultimate safety net which is my CPF savings.

Before using our CPF savings, we should ask if the cost and risk (if any) is worth taking.

I am feeling somewhat tired today and that is all I will say. 🙂
