The wedding Be realistic about your wedding expenses. You will be surprised at how much the gifts, ceremonies, dinners, clothes and shoes, and wedding photos can add up to your expenses. Like in other aspects of your life, have a budget. List the things that are necessary for the wedding.
The wedding Discuss with your spouse-to-be on how much money you both can afford to spend. Get tips and advice from those whove been through it all on how to spend wisely for this important occasion.
But its essential that you and your spouse see eye-to-eye on money matters.
Financial debts
This may sound harsh but do discuss with your intended spouse the debts that both of you will bring into the marriage, if any. You and your spouse should not hide from each other this topic of debt. Some marriages are reported to fail due to financial debts incurred by spouses.
Financial check-up
It is a healthy practice for a couple to prepare a monthly budget and spending plan, and track the spending of money at least once a week using a family cash flow statement.
Your Retirement
Youre never too young or too old to plan for retirement. The earlier the better, but its also better late than never. Its desirable to inculcate the saving habit at a young age. In fact, saving should be part of your lifestyle.
Your Retirement
Its wise not to rely on your EPF as your retirement fund because you may not have enough in your account to provide you with a comfortable lifestyle.
A balanced life
Money is just one part of a total system that produces a feeling of well-being. The challenge is to earn money to live life rather than living life to earn money.
