Dear Owner,
You keep asking me to ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐. ๐
โCan I get better returns?โ

Imagine two Malaysian families.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ ๐

But at the end of every monthโฆ
Family A feels ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐น.
Family B feels like they're ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐. ๐
Why?
It may not simply be because one family is โbetter with money.โ
๐ One may have a bigger housing commitment.
๐ต One may be supporting ageing parents.
๐ One may prioritise their children's education.
๐ One may have upgraded their lifestyle as income increased.
๐ณ One may be carrying debts nobody talks about.
โค๏ธ And one couple may simply communicate about money better than the other.
Here's the important part:

Two people earning exactly the same amount can experience money very differently because their ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐, ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐๐บ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ are different.
That's why good financial planning shouldn't begin with:
โ โWhich investment should I buy?โ
It should begin with questions like:
๐ญ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐?
๐ญ ๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด?

When preparing for parenthood, itโs easy to focus on the shopping list:

Itโs uncomfortable to discuss, but reviewing your familyโs ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, responsibilities and important documents becomes even more important after having a child.

Do you want more time with your children?
More flexibility at work?
Annual family holidays?
Private or public education?
A bigger homeโor simply more breathing room?

Are you part of Malaysiaโs ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป?
Youโre taking care of your ageing parents.
Youโre providing for your children.
And somewhere in betweenโฆ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ผ๐.
Every month, your income may already have many jobs:
๐ฅ Parentsโ medical and living expenses
๐ Childrenโs education
๐ Housing loan
๐ Household commitments
๐ฐ Emergency savings
๐ด Your own retirement
And when there isnโt enough to cover everything?
Very often, ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
โMy children still need me.โ
โMy parents are getting older.โ
โI can always save more for myself later.โ
These decisions often come from ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐. โค๏ธ

Taking care of your retirement doesnโt mean caring less about your family.
It means building a future where you can support the people you love ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐.

Ask yourself:
โ
If my parents suddenly need RM20,000 for medical expenses, am I prepared?
โ
Do I know how much I can realistically afford for my childrenโs education?
โ
If my income stops for 6 months, can my family cope?
โ
Am I consistently setting aside something for my own retirement?
โ
Am I trying to fund too many goals with too little clarity?
You donโt necessarily need to choose between your parents, your children and yourself.
You need a financial plan that helps you understand:
