No, of course not. It's probably the world most regulated, most sophisticated and most protected Ponzi scheme ever.
As for the possibilities of not being able to get your monies back is virtually zero because they can at will
extend the age for withdrawal, the proportional of withdrawals and etc etc no limitations in short.

It is important that your finances outlive you.
That is responsible financial planning.

And in all likelihood, the LARGEST in the history of mankind!

Anybody around 37yrs old remember this ANIMAL FARM story in Literature class during secondary school ?

Animal Farm is one of the most famous novels. Had it in my literature class too.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others

If one intends to depend on his CPF savings for retirement, then good luck. It is not inflation-proof. So the best bet is to save cash or get investment on your own, and use your CPF to buy a HDB flat. At least that appreciates more than the simi 2.5% return......

Re: is CPF a mini ponzi scheme ?

actually the main reason why spore property is so hiong is also everyone thinks that cpf can see cannot touch ... so all whack property

suburban condo $1500psf = affordable = expert says one

If CPF can withdraw to buy for car, I think all go queue up to buy porky and felali.
