The deal is this. Graduate, work for about 5 years. Find a partner. Use your CPF for a HDB flat downpayment and your combined CPF contribution to service the HDB loan. This still holds true as long as you buy a new flat in a non-prime area.

However, if you want a HDB resale flat in Queenstown, then you have to work a lot harder. Its not your right to afford to live in the tastiest parts of Singapore.
