In a recent blog on the CPF, to those who would like to see my CPF numbers, I appealed for patience.
I was waiting for the pie (chart).
Well, the pie is fresh out of the (CPF) oven!
Lacking mandatory contributions, I have been maxing out the CPF Annual Contribution Limit by doing only voluntary contributions since I retired from active employment 4 years ago.
I was 45 years old that year.
So, at the ripe old age of 49, what do I have to show for my efforts?
I know some can't wait to eat their CPF pie.
Don't believe me?
Remember the "Return our CPF" rally in Hong Lim Park?
Well, we must remember that some things cannot be rushed.
Some things just need time.
While we wait, the CPF pie is becoming more delicious over time.
Don't believe me?
See my CPF pie from last year and compare it to the CPF pie from the year before.
The answer is in the pie.
Is growing our CPF savings worth the effort?
Definitely!
Like depositing coins in a piggy bank when we were kids, every contribution to our CPF savings, big or small, adds up.
If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
Ensuring that we achieve retirement funding adequacy is surely worth doing.
So, we should do it well!
Now, we see the pie.
One day, we will get to eat it too.
Want to have our pie and eat it too?
Want our dreams to come true?
With a bit of help, our dreams can come true!
The CPF is here to help us with our retirement funding adequacy.
The CPF helps us as we help ourselves.
Be prudent.
Be pragmatic.
Be patient.
Prudence, pragmatism and patience will be rewarded in due time.
After all, a good pie needs time to prepare and to bake to perfection.
A good pie is surely worth waiting for.
Delicious!
If AK can do it, so can you!
