I do it every year and here's my reasoning. It's not either-or with investing, it's about the role in your portfolio. My CPF SA is my bond a…

We went BTO and I'd do it again, but only because we had a place to stay while waiting. We stayed with my in-laws for the build period, whic…

I use a hybrid. I let CPF OA pay the bulk of the monthly instalment so my cash flow stays healthy for emergencies and my kids' stuff, but I …
