its a sad reality that we have to accept.

I get my fuel from JB and also groceries.

SGD goes a long way there.

we just have to accept the fact, the middle class is getting squeezed tighter and tighter.

Any bros or sis affected by this and have to managed their excess money from the closed SA (ending up in the OA with only 2.5% interest) and have found commercial wealth management products that is low to medium risk but still beats the 2.5% OA interest, please share with us. Thank you

CPF money is managed by GIC. Look at the 20 year annualised average return of GIC. CPF interest rates can reach 5% per year with an extra 1% given on the first $60k.

Makes you wonder how they have been paying 4% on Medisave and Special Account over the years when GIC are reporting lower numbers.

Why only single out age 55 n abv ?
If want to close should close all ... shouldn't we enjoy the progress of SG together ?
Our $$$ has been lock for 55 years n now tell us ether to transfer to RA for higher interest but lock up ... or to OA for 2.5% ... if not happy just withdraw n park somewhere else
