Money and Me: Is CPF Life Enough for a Comfortable Retirement?

How far can $1,350 a month really take you in retirement?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores CPF Life and whether the Standard or Escalating Plan is better suited for your golden years.

Daniel Sim, Founder of Golden Goose Properties, joins the conversation to unpack the trade-offs of starting payouts at 65 versus delaying till 70.

They also discuss strategies to supplement CPF with rental income, downsizing, or non-property investments.

If your retirement target is $2,500–$4,500 a month, where will the extra cash flow come from?

Tune in to learn how to think of property as a secondary “CPF Life” and what other income streams can bridge the retirement gap.

* The Full retirement sum is $213 000 for 2025, it will be $228 000 in 2027. This amount is the standard to set aside by age 55 on your Retirment Account to receive monthly payouts under the CPF LIFE Standard Plan upon reaching the Payout Eligibility Age.
