The first few days of the new year is coming to a close, and so is the long break that I've looked forward to since the beginning of the year. It's been great celebrating the new year back home. Kinda makes me wonder what I missed out on last year because I had to fly back to Melb early on the 2nd day of the new year. Money wise, it's been the same as every other year, which isn't something to complain about. I guess I expected earnings to be a bit lower this time round given the extremely high petrol prices, and now rising food prices. I was calculating this afternoon how much I should save a month to have a reasonable amount for my retirement, and it amazed me at how a little savings each month would go a long way to a secure retirement. Sounds very CPF board like, very government, I know, but it's true. Can't rely on the government, who knows maybe in 30 years time they may decide to raise the age on which you can draw out your CPF again.
