Joseph22 Turbocharged August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 but if u use it to buy shares, your opp cost is no longer 0.1% as the amount is out of your CPF and not earning the OA interest. it become 2.4% because you loan from it ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 300k to pay off in 5 yrs is not difficult.. most pple will have a sizeable amount CPF to start with 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.

Roh96 6th Gear August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 300k to pay off in 5 yrs is not difficult.. most pple will have a sizeable amount CPF to start with 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 tats why get a small flat and clear off fast then can start to save up on CPF again but many people are paranoid that they will not be able to use their hard earned money. Plonking it in housing is the next natural step most people will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sg2303 2nd Gear August 6, 2013 Share August 6, 2013 (edited) 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. 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 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
