  January 1,1900

Financial Freedom is everyone's dream for Retirement.


Do you want to be a globetrotter?


Do you want to volunteer at your favourite non-profit or do both post-retirement? 


Read this simple Checklist. 


A quick way to know if you are on the path to Financial Freedom.

 


  1. BUDGET -  

 

Make a spending budget regularly. 

 

Stick to it no matter what.

 

Spending less = Saving more automatically.


  1. DEBT ELIMINATION -

 

Ensure you are debt-free especially close to retirement.

 

It requires a good financial plan and discipline to achieve this.

 

Talk to me and I will show you how it’s done.


  1. DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO -

 

Investments that provide consistent income over time. 

 

A retirement corpus that is well-diversified.


  1. CHILD EDUCATION -

 

It’s best to start early. 

 

A good education is the best gift a parent can give. 

 

Map out education expenses without touching retirement savings.


  1. INSURANCE -

 

Insurance cover is a must. 

 

Medical as well life. 

 

It’s a safety net you must not forget about. 

 

It’s for the sake of your loved ones.


  1. EMERGENCY FUND -

 

The Covid-19 crisis has made this step a very important one. 

 

Tuck away at least 4-6 month salary/monthly income for rainy days.


  1. INCREASE INCOME -

 

Add a passive income stream. 

 

Create a side hustle that pays. 

 

Get extra skills required to do your current job/business better. 

 

This will help negotiate a pay raise or a price hike as you bring added value to the table.


  1. KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE -

 

Check investments made, spending patterns, and income streams frequently. 

 

This enables weeding out the depleting ideas at the earliest.


  1. MAKE A WILL -

 

A Will provides financial clarity to loved ones. 

 

It’s an essential step that WILL avoid a lot of issues in your absence.


  1. YOUR HEALTH IS WEALTH -

 

I saved the best for the last. 

 

At retirement, won't you prefer sipping Mojitos on a beach versus popping tablets? 

 

Your health is of the utmost importance. 

 

Invest in yourself. 

 

No medical bills = Huge savings.


These 10 steps are so simple.

 

Yet many times difficult to put in place.

 

Here’s where I can help you.
