Same old question
-
Hi all. I'm new here. Would like ask you all for opinions.
I will be taking my taxi course next mth. I am currently paying my HDB rental with my brother using our CPF. Considering doing taxi driver as my current job as delivery driver doesnt earn much($1600). But I fear that doing taxi driver doesnt contribute much to my CPF account.
So any advice on this? Just f**king drive as a hirer taxi driver, or, continue my low income job but with stable CPF contribution & drive as a relief driver on maybe weekends to earn experience & also extra income?
-
i have same headache should partime or turn fulltime then some members here do not share how to use booking so i am worry if start after that cannot push more income to target then trouble
-
Need cpf work Better la

I support to your switch to TD but start off as a relief would be better choice, as least you do not have a burden of looking for a relief being a hirer. OMO is no joke.
Since you are also on the road everyday, street wise shouldn't be a problem. You may treat the income from cashless payment as your saving/CPF, you'll be surprise how much pax uses cashless payment monthly.
If things really dun workout as TD, you can still revert to your skilled job on delivery.
-
If work as taxi driver,does the taxi company contribute to our CPF?
I really lost liao. Do the delivery driver job not even 2k/mth. I am in mid 30 liao,only O level qualification. Cant find a job that pays higher. Thought that only taxi driver the only way can earn more.
Any more advises here? Thks
-
Do u always horn at TD and don't give way to TD?
-
Ermmm...Not always. Only those who suddenly cut lane & stop in front of me,same goes for other vehicles,not only taxi. Why ask?
-
u need to like TD in order to become one!sometimes bo pian,paxs last minute gave directions or ask us to stop immediately!u will know what i mean when u become a TD!so practise as a TD point of view fr now on!

Ya wait if the taxi coy helps pay our cpf. If pay.....haleluyah.

Taxi company will not pay cpf contribution. You have to use cash to pay the hdb loan which I am currently doing now. Anyway when you sell the flat in future will get cash instead of returning to cpf with interest.

In working, employers contribute 16% of your monthly paid into CPF, you contribute 20%, altogether 36% into yr CPF account, meaning if you are earning 1000, $360 will go into yr CPF which is then distributed into SA and MS. In Taxi Driving, you contribute 100% of the rental to the Taxi companies for them to distribute and paid their staffs, technician, mechanics, security guards, DRO and pple like me seating here TCSS with coffee anytime... our CPF. So, simply speaking, working, boss paid for yr CPF + you yourself In Taxi driving, you paid CPF for others

Whether you are employed, contributing CPF.....
Or self employed, not contributing CPF....
Also must depend on your own financial planning lor.....
If you want to buy big house, take big loan, than want to drive taxi, hoping can cover mortage loan every month, than prepare to engage bowah services lor.....
Even you are employed, but pay is miserable, sometime monthly contribution of CPF also cannot cover mortage loan lor.....
Is still very much depend on individual life style, no 10 years series answer.....
-
Oic.
Will seriously think over it. In the meantime just go for the taxi course & pass it & think of it after that
Thks all for your advices.....

If you like playing game type, go PSA and train as crane driver, monthly chao chao 6k net intake, you operate at height with two joystick to control the lifting, loading and unloading of containers. Usually for Singapore PSA, which is the best in the world beside Port Rotterham at holland who use to be nos 1 or nos 2 for europe containers, ship berthing only can last 24hrs, we are the best clearance port in the world, so all these crane operators will challenge each to other the faster to finish, like playing game...but must be serious, no joke, dead serious work. If u want to drive taxis and hope for the best, then maybe you hv to work long hours, eat and sleep and even PCC inside taxi, how to do it, you go ask keepthechange, formerly, his taxis was his second home.
