I am turning 40 soon and wondering if anyone here managed to reach either the CPF Full Retirement Sum (FRS) $213K or better still Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) $426K before you reach 55yo ?

Can share ? Thanks ya.

PS : I'm asking coz I run my own biz. Though Medisave contribution is compulsory by CPF, FRS or ERS contribution is own time own target.

If someone dumps all OA saving into property…Their OA CPF will be always like empty…so not easy to reach FRS.

Just touched FRS. ERS not yet. :o

How to reach it ah? Take CPF go invest loh, buy T-Bills, Bonds, etc.
Can accumulate how much means how much + work hard.

Bit by bit build up. Slow and steady wins the race.

Target FRS. ERS is optional. The amount is different for each cohort,

FRS = 213K and ERS = 426K is for those who are 55 yo this year.

Remember, you get monthly payout starting from 65.

Hit frs liao then next year will continue to hit until u 55yo?

Hitting frs in 30s is useless. U should aim to hit frs when u r 55yo if u love cpf.

U how old only? Use OA to buy HDB and wipe out OA is normal.
My time lagi worse, don't have the $20,000 "pad", if say wipeout, really is wipe until $0 one. :o

Rebuild your OA again, can be done one. Work hard, drop by drop, you will get there. :o

FRS increases by around 3% every year until you reach 55. If you have already reached FRS, the yearly interest CPF rates of 2.5% and 4% will more or less keep you ahead of the FRS.
