Is your family equipped to handle an emergency when you are incapacitated?

Is your family equipped to handle an emergency when you are incapacitated?

As personal finance professionals, when we look at customers, we are accustomed to looking out for risks which can play out and finding ways to mitigate them. We hope that a family which had given adequate thought to many of the risks, would be able to manage well, in any unforeseen emergency. We have now realized one important factor which we have not been emphasizing on, through a recent unfortunate experience.

 

While we all plan for our dependents post our demise, rarely do we think of us being in a situation where we are temporarily incapacitated and are dependent on our family to take charge. A recent experience made us think, and these are some of the conclusions we have come to.

Go beyond financial planning for a happy retirement

Go beyond financial planning for a happy retirement

All of us love vacations, and the very thought of a vacation is good enough to cheer us up. Why then is it so difficult to enjoy the longest vacation of your life – “Retirement”?

 

Many of us do wake up to the impending retirement and the financial needs for the same at least a decade before we retire if not earlier. What I am referring to here is therefore not money but the important aspect of how to keep oneself busy and add meaning to retired life.

 

It is all very well to eat, drink and make merry when you are on a short holiday, but can you think of doing that and nothing else for years? When we look at retirement from this context it is sobering indeed! Imagine, we need to spend one third of our lives in retirement and yet we don’t give it the mind space it deserves.

Explained: Five money mantras to become financially free

Explained: Five money mantras to become financially free

At its simplest, Financial Independence means “having enough money so as to never work again for the rest of your life”. But as you would agree, neither is life simple, nor is it as predictable and straight-forward as one would like it to be. This effectively means that as you go along your life journey, your definition of what Independence means keeps changing as your goal posts keep shifting.



That said, it is not rocket science, and it is something that everyone should aspire towards, not just for the financial security, but for the mental doors that it opens for you when you discover that you are no longer working for the money.




Based on our journey, I share with you below a few simple principles that you can follow to get onto, and stay on this path. But beware, what is simple to understand is rarely easy to do, and requires discipline, patience and the ability to say no to your ego.
