not both husband and wife work the whole life. In fact some or my wife never worked and 100% take care of the children. Therefore 165,000 for one person enough to live after retirement? Which I am in this stage. CPF requires only 120,000 at that time I start withdraw the monthly payment. It is less than 600 a month.

I am lucky that children is supportive to the family so we can live normally. I see some family in my situation and work force is the wife and after retirement children still young or not doing well enough to support their parents, would the 165,000 enough to continue to support the children?

and the list go one....

if you hv already worked your WHOLE life, your retirement would be most likely in a coffin.
Since you hv already worked yr whole life.
big joke.

if you hv already worked your WHOLE life, your retirement would be most likely in a coffin.

If you have already worked your whole life, your retirement will be in the life beyond.

You have to inform CPF to transfer your money there for you to spend.

Work lest your brain turn to jelly. I plan on working till I drop. God always feeds the birds right? But what if the bird decided one day "Oh I retire to this nice penthouse branch"? I'm just saying...

Now when I am 64 and my back is broken and I can't move...will you still need me will you still feed me??? I may be singing a different tune... LOL

I want to believe most Singaporeans are the same except to the higher in one group. It is not what is balance in your cpf that can support your retirement but the inflation rate. Whatever you have planned may not work given the 'justufications' for price increase. What you have is getting g smaller by the days.

Yeah so true. Those who chose to be self-employed have the choice to decide how much CPF to contribute, which is exactly what some non self-employed people would like. Haha. They should swap sides to see if the grass is really greener.

The minister is not wrong generally....if couple work till retire...the monthly withdrawal from the minimum sum will let them live in dignity and have a peace of mind for the rest of their life...provided the house if fully paid and have enough medical coverage
