You work for money and in return you must expect money to help you fulfil your life goals. To make that happen, prudent financial planning and investing is something that you should immediately be doing.
Why do you need a proper Financial Plan? Why won’t simple RDs and SIPs work?
A financial plan enables you to construct a road map to achieve all the financial goals and helps you build a contingency fund for any unforeseen events that may take place. It ensures that you are well equipped to deal with dynamically changing circumstances at a personal and macro level. Ad hoc investments into Fixed Deposits and Mutual fund SIPs lead to inefficient utilisation of your financial resources.
What is achieved through a Financial Plan?
- Management of cash flows and budgeting
- Efficient management of debt
- Streamlining of your Investments
- Investment in the right instruments
- Correct asset allocation
- Weeding out inefficient financial products
- Calculating the right Insurance cover
- Identify and set pragmatic financial goals
- Develop a regular savings habit
- A blueprint to your long term goals
How to go about it?
Step 1 – Fix your relationship with money: By buying only the things that you need because “If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.”
Step 2 – Set clear definitions of your goals and execute a financial plan: Classify your long-term and short-term financial goals. and channelise your income into productive avenues. Thereby avoiding ad hoc purchases while remaining focussed on financial goals that are close to your heart. To again quote Warren Buffett, “Do not save what is left after spending; instead spend what is left after saving.”
Step 3 – Save systematically to build your wealth over the long term: To attain financial freedom, above all, you have to be patient. Wealth building is a gradual process. Your goals will probably look pretty big once they are quantified. That kind of money takes years to build, and everybody starts small. Investing regularly also helps in dealing with market volatility.
