he is saying no point topping up CPF MA unless your tax rate is 4% or lower. I disagree though. Tax is an expense that is forever gone. Top up is still your money.
I thought a bit deeper Iirc interest on MA is calculated based on lowest account amount that month. So yup you are right. It's only fractionally lower for that month. And not the whole year.

After work not thinking straight lol.

Helped wife organise her spreadsheet for her financial assets. Sigh. She didn't know how much she has exactly before this. Had to list them via institutions and custodians rather than by instruments

to be fair, you are not alone. I think most people don't really keep track of their financial diligently unless those borderline OCD kind. I do it only because I see it as a challenge to optimise my personal wealth (either through tax optimisation, portfolio allocation etc) given I don't have many other hobby :s13:
