Also, if you top up your RA after 55 using cash while your SA funds are shielded, when you unshield, the funds remain in RA since it is considered as topping up of RA.SA shielding:
The member is topping up the RA with cash which i mentioned in my post.
- $40K from SA + $20K from OA = $60K in RA
- If he/she is 55 this year, he/she needs to top up $153K to RA to meet FRS.
- If his/her cash is sitting in FD earning less interest, he/she can consider do this.
- Since he/she has met the FRS. When he/she liquidate the investment in SA, it will flow to OA.
VHR:
Looking at Orwell, he may do VHR first since he has like 7 yrs before he reaches 55.
So, he will build up his OA as much or as close to 1 mil as he mentioned.
Any shortfall, can be done by doing SA shielding.
If you do it before you are 55 then you are restricted by the FRS cap.
