Changing rules is not about interest alone. I rather low interest but is my money than give u high rates but untouchable.

Now corona comes. Those no jobs cpf can save them of not? Bank account can save u any day. If u cannot survive now then no need to wait until 55

Entirely defeating the point of what cpf is.

Cpf sa is for retirement planning, u talking about immediate emergency savings. Different topic la.

Like if u buy hospitalization insurance plan. If u never get warded, u cant claim your bills. Outpatient cost still need to pay. Different plans are intended for diff purposes.

I have too much cash lying around in high yield accounts but since interest rates drop, I also intend to transfer some money to SA account for retirement.

Then I realise theres a cap of only 7k per year if I want to top up SA account with cash?

PLease do s if you can afford. I had done so prior to me reaching 55 and for my home-maker wife too. and continue to do so after 55 (because after 55, I can withdraw anytime, so to me CPF is like my bank now with at least 2.5% per annum). Aiming o collect $20k interest from CPF per year as passive income. Now only about 12k plus.

Yes, if one is cash strapped with little cash saving, then stick to mandatory CPF amount.
For those who had a little bit more cash, then it is a different consideration. CPF will then be one of the viable vehicle.

If one greedy the interest from sa and wana dump money insai, note that you are warned over and again the money cannot be taken out till 55. If you want greedy and no plan for future money usage, who to blame?
