The importance of a plan
Planning for the future is a lot like planning a road trip – you need to:
1. Decide where you want to go and what you want to do
● Your road trip destination is your life’s goal – perhaps you want to retire by 55 or you want to ensure that your transition into retirement will be financially comfortable
2. Pick the best season for your trip
● Picking the right season is a lot like choosing the right investment vehicles to ensure that you have that nest-egg growing in value for your retirement
3. Ensure your vehicle is ready for the trip, book accommodation and decide on a budget
● You have to know how you’re going to navigate each month – from putting funds away
in savings to paying off your debt and having some left for life’s surprises
4. Be prepared for hiccups along the way
● There are so many things that can go wrong on a road trip – bad weather, flat tyres, someone breaking into your car and stealing your valuables… This is exactly what life is like: we plan and save for our retirement but forget that there might be unpleasant surprises along the way. unpleasant surprises along the way.
Cancer, permanent disability, the death of a loved one, loss of income… So many of us think “That won’t ever happen to me!” and we start our lives without a proper plan in place, only to lose it all when disaster strikes.
