MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO PRIORITIZE YOUR FINANCIAL NEEDS
1.) Basic Needs
- you are able to provide your family the basic needs you need FIRST. This includes food,water,clothing,shelter etc.
2.) Emergency Funds
- you have a personal savings that is atleast 3x-6x of what you are earning in a month. For example: your monthly salary is 20,000 you need to atleast have 60,000-120,000 in your bank. This funds will help you whenever sudden needs arise such as hospitalization and unemployment.
3.) Income Protection
- this is more of wealth accumulation and acquiring LIFE INSURANCE products. You have to protect your income and savings. If sudden needs arise,insurance will help you avoid utilizing your own savings/money in bank. Insurance will provide you the amount needed to cover possible hospitalization or worse death.
4.) Investment
- at this level, if all is well you can now start investing to different platforms. Investment will provide you extra and passive income without overthing of the risks. In investment you need to open your mind that you may lose or gain more. You can invest to mutual funds,UITF etc.
Also, you can start acquiring properties at this level because you know you can be able to pay them.
5.) Estate Planning (Legacy)
- this is more applicable to older people. You need to make sure you can transfer smoothly all your physical properties (houses,cars,bank savings) and others like investment proceeds/account values earned through the years to your heirs and family members. A wealth planner can assist you on computing your worth to distinguish the needed estate taxes for proper transfer of ownership to you heirs and family members once you are no longer here.
Now, think of it and tell yourself, "What level am I now?".
