Money Market Funds
Written by Andrew Boey   

Hi Fellow Automated Millionaires,

I met up with my trusted Financial Planner last night from 10 to 1130pm. After discussing with Anthony and Kae Tyan, I made several decision:

  1. NOT to put my FFA into a Money Market Funds but also invest into Mutual Funds for better growth
  2. Not to work on Bi-weekly Payment for Real Estate (as there is no such payment mode in Singapore)

Money Market Funds
I have researched Money Market Funds in Singapore are generally making a profit of 2-3% returns. Hence, minusing the initial sales charge of 2%, the nett profit is only 1% (taking the maximum returns of 3%) which is lesser than the e$aver of 1.5%. Hence, for all the trouble of setting up the Money Market Fund, it just doesn't add up. Hence, I decide NOT to put my FFA into Money Market Funds but invest into Mutual Funds until end of 2008 to buy Real Estates in 2009

Bi-weekly Payment
Sad to say that Bi-weekly payment according to Anthony Boon doesn't exist in Singapore. Hence, enough talk about it :( So it makes more sense to grow money in elsewhere rather than paying off the interest other than required.

Retirement Calculator
I have found out that CPF website has an incredible array of Calculators at http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/Members/Calculators/mbr-Calculators.htm. I am using it to determine what i need to do to achieve my Automated Millionaire Plan!
