The Purpose Of Financial Planning

Counter Inflation
Today, 3 meals will cost someone RM20 a day, but in 20 years' time, with current inflation rate of 6% a year in urban areas, those same 3 meals can cost up to RM64.

Ensure Adequate Income In Times Of Need
The unexpected can happen at anytime. Our jobs, families, and even physical health can present us with problems that we are not financially prepared for. This is when we will need to rely on our savings.

Improve Present & Future Lifestyles
Maintain a comfortable lifestyle well into the future.

Retirement

In recent EPF finding, it is reported that 60% of those who withdrew all their contributions at 55 spent all of it within 3 years, leaving them destitute. With the life expectancy of men being 71, and women being 76, the average man now can through the last 16 years of his life without income.

But what can we do to avoid such fate? The solution is simple. Start saving early. It is possible to plan our lifestyles in such a way where we can have what we want and still strengthen the bank account. From daily efforts like cutting back on our expenditure, paying attention to our unneccesary splurging, and invest wisely, we can plan our financial futures.
