Financial Planning

I'm not selling you insurance so there's no need to runaway or close this window immediately like you have seen an apparition. I have, however, bought some for myself considering that I have dropped all of them when I lost my job a while ago. Now that everything is starting to fall in place, it's time to safeguard my own interest and of those who are dear to me. It is through bad planning of those who are extremely close to me that made me see the importance of it. At this point in time, I probably can't afford much and neither do I think it will be sufficient for my retirement but some planning is better than none. And with this, I have a little more control over my expenditure which has proved to be haywire.

As of now, I am the "insurance" to some people and I don't want to burden my children (if I even decide to have any) this way. In a place like Singapore, we're probably more afraid to be a financial burden to our dear ones than facing impending death.

The actual disappointment is beyond what words can describe but I can only say, I have never felt so upset before in my life. The pain is very acute and real. The saving grace is having Blue Potato with me, being the sound mind, injecting the rational sense into me.

2 more months to prove my worth... March On!
