Secure your financial future
Everyone dreams to be financially independent. But as the saying goes, a dream without a plan is just a wish. If the dream must become reality, we need to act on it. But how do I begin is the basic question that most beginners struggle with.
Financial goals will vary based on where you are and what you want to be. First, start with assessing where you are in your wealth management journey. One of the most important aspect of any financial goal is ability to save your earnings. Depending on your age, career span, lifestyle, and other factors you may fall under one of the 3 categories of savers: Beginner, Practitioner, and Long-time saver
Beginner: At this stage, typically net assets are zero or in the negative. You rely on your monthly income to pay for bills. There is not enough to save.
Your goal is to increase your income and/or decrease your expense.
You need to look for additional side gigs and other ways to increase your income flow. At the same time, you need to look at ways to cut spending. It could be consolidating your debt and negotiating a lower rate, eating out less, reducing your coffee runs to the neighborhood barista, moving to a less expensive place to live etc.
Set yourself a goal to save 5% of your income. Come up with your milestones to increase saving and reduce spending based on what is possible for your situation.
Practitioner: At this stage, your net assets are trending positive. Your monthly income pays your expenses and there is money allocated to build your savings.
