That is rather the normal. It will be bumpy and your savings will be see sawing with life journeys (eg kids, car, parents etc).
But enjoying the journey is truly impt

Normal ? Super -ve networth (if you just consider your HDB debt) vs your free cashflow. My rationale is that HDB "value" is not an asset that can be monetise to free cash flow. Even if u sell, you need to find another place to stay and hence still cash negative.
However, the HDB is a real liability as it has to be paid and will hit CPF savings and free cashflow and will impact networth building.
From now til you achieve a real free cashflow (ie excess cash above your HDB debt), there are many paths to building your networth.
Most conservative - Repay HDB debt aggressively and build CPF to earn interest.
Aggressive - Invest in equities etc.
Super aggressive - Buy another home for rental . Not for the faint hearted especially in these days. May also not be best option now.
The good thing is everyone is on the same track unless they have inheritance.

these last few posts of young singaporeans savings are surprisingly low. given the gloomy economic outlook, life is going to be tougher for all.
GDP is dwindling Quarter to Quarters and govt is trying to keep GDP growth by getting people to get into to more debts diving in to buying cars with lower upfront payment and increasing loan quantum.
I wonder what will become of young overstretched Singaporeans heavily DEBT Ridden.......

To build up savings efficiently, best is to go for savings plan + FD + bonds. Seen pple buying one savings plan every three years. Within 10 to 20 years, reap all returns.
FD and bonds are also safe sure win bets.
