Are you ready to lead a fulfilling retirement?
That was the question posed to all at last weekend’s “Ready For LIfe’ festival, jointly organised by CPF board and Moneysense.
As you can tell from the photos, I had a really candid and interesting fireside chat with Minister for Health, ONg Ye Kung at the Opening Forum, about financial planning, setting retirement goals and even delving into Minister Ong’s personal ethos about living a vibrant and meaningful retirement.
Next, my diverse group of panelists, comprising Gregory Chia (CPF Board), Professor Christopher Cheng (SGH), Alfred Chia (SingCapital) and John Chong (Bee-Amazed) provided lots of useful perspectives on how Singaporeans can make the most out of the golden chapter of life, by first ensuring a sound financial foundation, and getting ‘re-fired’ to pursue new interests or passions.
I certainly came away with an arsenal of good tips in planning/ tweaking my financial and retirement plans and much of it starts with NOW.
