Earlier this year, a survey conducted by Nielsen revealed that 55% of
Singaporeans aged between 25 and 35 years old have started saving
and planning actively for their future. While a large percentage of
them consider retirement investment as part of planning for the
future, saving for retirement only becomes a priority for those above
36 years old.

Ordinary Account to Special
Account
Even if you have reached the Full Retirement Sum and are hence
unable to enjoy the CPF Cash Top-Up Relief, there is no stopping a
CPF member from transferring savings from his Ordinary
Account to Special Account.

CASE STU DY
To illustrate the benefits of transferring your savings from the
Ordinary Account to the Special Account, let’s imagine that
Heartland Girl (aged 25) made a one-time transfer of S$ 20,000
from her Ordinary Account to her Special Account.
The following table shows how much she would have at age 55 if she
had left the money in her Ordinary Account, as compared to
transferring it into her Special Account.

Retirement Scheme Account
After opening the SRS Account, the account holder can contribute
cash into it but the contribution is capped at a maximum of S$15,300
per annum. This same contribution can be invested to boost your
retirement savings and at the same time, qualifies as tax income
relief on a proportionate basis. Upon age 62, the account holder
can start to withdraw the money from his SRS Account to tide him
over his golden years.

Heartland Boy has just shared three guaranteed ways on how young
adults can start saving for their retirement.
If you are sharp enough, you would realise that some common
principles run across the various methods recommended. The
concept of delayed gratification, making money work harder
than you, and compounding interest are just some of the
principles that Heartland Boy often preach about on his website.
