Why Singaporeans Are Failing at Retirement Planning 🥹

This is the brutal truth about why so many Singaporeans are getting absolutely CRUSHED in retirement planning…

And here’s how you can turn it all around to secure your future.

Look, I’m not here to sugarcoat things. Retirement planning in Singapore? It’s a battlefield.

And most people are going into it with a water pistol.

You’ve probably heard it all before, right?

“Start saving early…”

“Contribute to your CPF…”

But here’s the problem:

That’s not enough.

Far from it.

You’re doing the same thing as everyone else—socking away money in your CPF, thinking it’s the magic ticket to sipping cocktails on Sentosa in your golden years.

But here's the kicker...

Most Singaporeans are making ONE massive mistake that’s sinking their retirement ship before it even leaves the harbour:

They’re waiting too long to invest.

You see, everyone’s so focused on building their emergency funds, paying off mortgages, or funding the latest renovation that they delay investing.

And every year they wait? It’s like lighting stacks of cash on fire.

But here's the good news…

You don’t have to make that mistake.

You can start investing NOW—yes, even while building your emergency fund.

Because the truth is, the biggest risk isn’t market volatility or investment fees.

It’s TIME.

It’s the compounding magic you miss out on while you’re sitting on the sidelines.

We’ve seen people grow their investment portfolios by 5x simply by starting sooner—even with small, manageable amounts.

The secret? Finding the right balance between saving and investing.

And Singapore’s tax advantages, CPF contributions, and global market access make it the perfect storm for wealth building—if you play it smart.

So while most Singaporeans are coasting into their 50s, only to realise their retirement plans are a ticking time bomb…

You can be the one sitting pretty, with a rock-solid portfolio that’ll support you for decades.

In my very biased (but totally correct) opinion…

Starting to invest NOW, even while you’re building up that emergency fund, is the fastest and most secure way to ensure a 7-figure, stress free retirement.

Time is ticking.

And you’re not getting nay younger any second.

You in?
