Freestylers09 5th Gear August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 Am I missing something? Assuming one couple start working at 25, CPF starts from zero. Assuming max CPF contribution from day 1, the max CPF contribution to OA is $2K/mth. To pay off 300K loan without using cash, the couple have to work 150 months, or equal to 12.5 yrs. 12 yrs/2 each 6yr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot bonus. Bonus also have CPF contribution. Assuming contribution from bonus is 3k/pax on average, every year will have $30000 in OA account. So should need only 10 years only.

To pay off 300K loan without using cash, the couple have to work 150 months, or equal to 12.5 yrs. that is the thing...why start work at 25 ? not everyone get to go Uni and can start to get into workforce early and start the cpf accumulation early ...and dun forget got bonus and employer portion to up the amount also like mentioned earlier need to top up cash too That's the problem! CPF is meant mainly for retirement, but somehow along the way, people minds get muddled and start exploring ways to utilise it and justify the sky high prices of subsidised housing. it is a gamble...you dun use for housing and leave it inside and all you get is 2+% interest annually...do you think that is even enuff for your retirement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestylers09 5th Gear August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 Eh sala lah. 12 yrs of combined effort. ok i get wa u mean btw v easy one la,last i also thought jiak lak 30years loan,later counting actually not hard of coz i wont clear full even cpf enough unless buy 2nd property Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph22 Turbocharged August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 that is if you take CPF loan IIRC. Take bank loan dun need. check with your fav agent yes you are right. FYI, i am not your fav agent and i am not an agent. i happen to confirm because i took a bank loan for my 2nd house because of this 50% cash need to go to next house loan rule.

That is $5K salary per mth. Again, those who didn't study Uni may have early head start, but how many can hit this salary right from day 1? As for bonus? Maybe this will play a bit of difference, but not much lah. How many companies are paying >6 mths bonus these days? So i'm still very surprise to hear ppl paying 300K loan is like chicken feet.

But I manage to clear it before that thru lump sum payment. But to clear a 300K loan in 5 yrs? No way lah. Unless i got external help or use cash in.

Joseph22 Turbocharged August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 haha no la...its 2.6%. means u loan 2.6% to buy shares. if you loan from CPF to buy shares, i though we only need to return the number plus interest incur. which is current 2.4% (or was it 2.5%)???

I made a calculation before base on household income, if you are above 6K. you should have no problem paying 300K loan in 15~20 years just using CPF alone. but that does not mean it is affordable as not many people have combine income of 6K.
