How Will the Closure of Your CPF Special Account Affect Your Retirement? – The Brain Behind (S3E04)

The CPF changes announced during Budget 2024 have been receiving a range of opinions on the ground as Singaporeans who had "Special Account shielding" on their minds, question their next steps when it comes to retirement planning. Given the unpopular opinions, is this the right move to make for the primary purpose of the CPF? What do these changes mean to you as a young accumulator or a near-retiree?
