The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a mainstay in the lives of every Singaporean – in return for forced savings, the government guarantees risk-free interest on CPF monies, which can be used for education, housing, preparation for retirement and to pay for medical costs.
Going a step further with the introduction of the Baby Bonus Scheme, every Singaporean child now has a CPF account even before they learn to speak. This is due to the government’s initial deposit of $4,000 into their Medisave account.
Even so, one would wonder if its really possible to accumulate a million dollars by the time Singaporeans retire at the age of 65.
