Zze121 3rd Gear August 3, 2013 Share August 3, 2013 12k income can easily pay for a 900k EC with just their CPF OA and maybe a very slight top up. The danger is only loss of income or loss of work. Even if interest rates rise substantially, they should still be able to fork up the cash top up. But yes, it might be painful. Read that someone equire bank loan recently, the IPA very low. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic August 3, 2013 Share August 3, 2013 (edited) the "noble" cause for EC is to provide a upgrade path for sporean to upgrade from hdb to ec ... since many kaypoh kaypoh say PC is expensive and cannot afford 1. EC is for uprader ... ie: sell hdb at 450K ... buy ec at $900k ... balance is only $450k ... somemore the hdb must be fully paid hor 2. EC is for people with $$$ in the bank who is capable to redeem the EC in less than 10 years ... ie: at the age 25-30 is manager, at the age of 35-40 is director/regional level liao those who can only afford 20% downpayment and take $720K loan (+ another $350k interest) and expect to fully paid in 25-30 years loan period can kiss goodbye to their cpf retirement. and the govt answer to that is either downgrade (sell, cash out and must move to cheaper housing) or rent out rooms to sustain your retirement fail to do so ... then cry papa cry mama ... old liao ... cpf no money ... must q for hours in polyclinic to treat fever and flu so ... we must have "new buyer" to come in to buy the old $900K ec ... else who is going to buy if every sporean got their EC when 25-30 and thinking to sell at 55-60 to cash out? if there were no PR to buy the $450-$500k hdb ... how hdb upgrader buy ec? when a family start to mature ie: got married > children > maid > car > expensive holiday > etc ... expenses rise 50% but income do not rise in the same speed Housing loan fully paid in 10 years !!!!
