How rich/poor am I compared to people my age(27)?
I am just wondering how much savings I have compared to my peers?
How much do you have when you are 27yo? I just reached 27yo, im male I have about 40k in my bank account and 35k in CPF. I know this is not a big amount by any means but still a small fortune. I spent alot on miscellaneous things though, could have been much more. |
1 year older, 70k cash savings

I am 24 years old, in my final year of Uni. Through investments, savings from young etc I have 43k in bank, stocks, bonds. But almost all of my peers are nowhere close, many have no savings and some prudent ones have about 10k.
Good job on saving 40k at 27 YO though, already pretty difficult. Let's say one saves 2k a month (which is a lot), you need 1.5 years to save that amount. Double that if you only save 1k a month. Maybe the next step would be to start investing. You can start off safe by investing in corporate bonds available on the SGX which can easily net you a 4-5% per annum. After 5 years, you would earn at least 25% of what you invested (5 x 5%). Slowly build up a portfolio and you can have passive income of a few hundred dollars a month. |

For a more realistic view, I have many friends at your age who have little to no savings. Maybe 20k cash.
