It is again that time of the year to work on New Year resolutions. The word has become a joke and it is now accepted that resolutions never work. We all know that a turning of the calendar is not going to weave its magic and get you started in the right direction.

What I have noticed is when we endeavour to make small changes rather than daunting makeovers which require a whole lot of change, we tend to stick to our resolutions. The same applies on the personal finance front – both whether to increase your financial awareness and to improve your financial situation.

As a woman if you wish to make your financial life better than what it has been thus far let us without much effort, here are four simple things you can do.

For a parent, if there is one thing that is paramount in her life and gives her the utmost happiness, it is ensuring that her children are given every opportunity to blossom into well rounded human beings, confident and capable of taking on the world. Sadly, there is usually a gap between desire and action, and most parents wake up to the task of planning for their children’s basic and higher education when there is not much time left.

Schools don’t prepare the children to handle finances and most families do not discuss money matters with their children, even in tehir teens. As a result, in many cases, they grow up with a large sense of entitlement, never realising the effort, planning and sacrifices which went into building enough wealth to fulfil their dreams.

So, apart from investing mindfully for them , it is a great idea to involve your children early in the personal finance journey. When we interact with customers, we often see how one could have benefitted by avoiding a few traps or being more conscious of the decisions made and we enumerate them here.

Somehow in our society, while it is an understood thing that a man needs to take care of his parents, it is not such a given for the woman. It is strange when you think of it, since equal share in property post demise of parents is accepted by all, while equal share in responsibilities not so easily so.

However, a woman has the same instinct as a man’s and would like to be there for her parents, financially or otherwise. So how can you plan for such debts, which in a way, can never be fully repaid?

Women must develop the right money mindset for a fruitful post-retirement life

Prathiba Girish Financial Freedom, Financial Planning, Finwise Woman, Moneycontrol.com, Retirement September 27, 2019October 9, 2019financial freedom, finwise woman, Retirement planning 0 Comment

When we are still working, we make so many plans of things to do once we retire. And as we get onto the home stretch in the last few years, the excitement begins to build, of course, with a few butterflies in the stomach as well. So many places to see, so many people to meet, so many suppressed aspirations to fulfil, all of course, while juggling one’s hard-earned wealth and believing that there is enough, not only for ourselves but also to bequeath.

But retirement is not always as rosy as you imagined it to be. The transition to retired life is sudden, and there is a vacuum of time, that has to be fruitfully filled. That vacant space has to be occupied with activities that need to be created, not only to feel gainfully employed, but also to feel good about oneself.

What are those scenarios that one must adapt and adjust to?

In retirement, the role of money is to allow one to fulfil our bucket list of desires, while ensuring that there is enough to take care of our balance life-times, including exigencies. Nothing more, nothing less. Hence, as a retiree, use money to bring you happiness and add meaning to your life, while taking care that it is safely working for you as well.
