Dearest, have you ever thought about your financial future? In today’s fast-paced world, being financially secure is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. In light of the beginning of October, let’s revise your future plans and ask yourself: What’s your financial glow-up plan?
Financial glow-up is all about levelling up your money management skills to achieve financial independence. It does not happen overnight, but with the right knowledge and commitment, you can create the future you deserve. Let’s explore how!
Step 1: Understanding Your Money Habits
The first step to your financial glow-up plan is understanding how you manage money. Ask yourself:
- How do I spend and save?
- Do I have a budget? (Don’t worry, we are not talking about cutting every coffee out!)
- Am I saving for emergencies?
Sometimes, we may not realise how much we spend on small things. It could be daily drinks, eating out, or impulse online shopping. Identifying where your money is going helps you control it better.
Step 2: Start Investing NOW
Once you have a clear view of your spending, it is time to think about growing your money. But, what is your financial glow-up plan when it comes to investments? For many, the best approach is to start small and keep it low-risk.
Consider options that provide steady returns and align with your values. Look into various savings accounts, unit trusts, or other shariah-compliant investment opportunities. These can help you build wealth gradually while ensuring your money works for you in a secure way.
The key is to make informed choices that you are comfortable with. So, what’s your financial glow-up plan when it comes to investing? Always choose platforms and strategies that align with your financial goals and beliefs.
Step 3: Planning for Emergencies and Retirement
Having emergency savings is essential. Aim to save at least three to six months of living expenses. This will give you peace of mind in case unexpected situations arise, such as medical emergencies or job loss.
But do not stop there—think long term. What’s your financial glow-up plan for retirement? In addition to your EPF, consider diversifying your investments to secure a comfortable life after you retire. You never what could happen in the future. The time to prepare is now.
Step 4: Gaining Knowledge
