Under PAP, especially sotong Shoot Blank Queen

they cannot even handle MOM and CPF properly

No confidence in them

28 OECD Countries, SG did badly

It was reported by UK that-

". . . . our system did not perform well relative to other countries in terms of retirement income adequacy since there is no basic pension or significant safety net for the poorest."

[happyharvest]

the more accurate data should be more than half bah

[Ola]

Actually, reports have shown that past 10 Years

PAP did not manage CPF well


HR consultancy AON declared that retirement inadequacy in Singapore was “acute”. By their calculation, the average CPF LIFE payouts would only replace about 25% of a person.

for those who have hdb flats, it is quite simple.

just rent out the flat and go to a small town in malaysia to rent a house.

the rental from hdb flat should be able to cover rental and living cost in malaysia , plus some extra money.

Comfortably is too vague. Must set a yardstick as different people have different comfort criteria. For example some feel comfortable staying in a rented HDB room and some don't......

Surprise surprise surprise

Coming from one of World's richest countries..

[singlon]

sitting alone doing nothing without the constant chatterings is for singlon.
It clears the Mind such dat singlon is abled to see not just Japoni blackhole
EU blackhole
Japoni is deflationary EU inflationary

as for sotong we have a winter WEF in Davos and a summer one in China

[Scythian]

the more accurate data should be more than half bah

With 34% of national wealth held by 1% of SG population, virtually, the balance 66% wealth is spreading thinly across the majority 99% population.

Why is Everyone working so hard just to enhance the growing wealth of one %?

just rent out the flat and go to a small town in malaysia to rent a house. 

the rental from hdb flat should be able to cover rental and living cost in malaysia , plus some extra money.

HDB is a liability and must rent it out to survive in Malaysia that is not our home, not our country and not our Govt.

JoTeo says 450,000 pensioners will receive $350 a month AVG CPF payout

[maxsanic]

It really depends on what they mean by "retire comfortably" when they answer the questionnaire.

If it means that on the last day of employment I am drawing $x and the next day of retirement I should still be able to continue my lifestyle at 80 - 90% of $x, then most Singaporeans are unlikely to meet this criteria as the net worth required is rather high.

However if it means basic needs are met and the occasional luxury here and there then yes perhaps 50% - 75% of the population can meet this criteria.

[Sharexchange]

Housing price must keep rising and rising to sustain Retirement.

[Huliwang]

I think basing on simple, frugal lifestyle and not fuzzy on food most Singapore should be able to retire. However, still may be about 10% to 15% might not be able to meet this lifestyle cost.

It is the medical and hospitalization cost that scare people into retirement and looks like half the population find it very difficult to meet in retirement.....

PAP better go and beg Malaysia Govt

They better be on the knees to allow old poor Singaporeans to rent and live in JB

And then apologize to citizens  for not handling CPF for our retirement well

Regardless, all retirement must cover 3 BASIC Necessities 

esp for the bottom 20% of the people:

1) Roof over the head
2) Electricity & Water
3) Food
4) Medicine

I can see the difference between basic reality vs marketing "studying" by a insurance coy...
