Moms Never Retire?

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire. For all these, moms deserve more thoughts besides during Mother’s Day. But should mothers also think about planning their own retirement — financially speaking? In this issue, as we give tributes to all mothers, we would also like to give thoughts to a mother’s financial freedom. Mothers deserve a worry-free retirement as well.

4 Things Mothers in Singapore Should Do to Plan for Their Finances

A 2015 survey showed that 75% of Singaporean mothers surveyed had not even thought about retirement, let alone started planning for it. If you’re spending all your energy running after the kids or making sure they pay attention during tuition, here four things you should not forget to do for your finances.

Mums, pay attention to finances

Financial experts advise that it makes sense for mothers (and just about anyone) to pay attention to their financial affairs. According to the US-based National Centre for Women and Retirement Research, nine out of 10 women will eventually have to manage their finances on their own at some point, due to circumstances ranging from leaving the workforce to care for a family member, to becoming divorced or finding themselves widowed.

Dear everyone, Thank you for all the love and trust that you place in me. 2020 was a unique year and we managed to pull through it together. Let's continue to work hard towards our goals and dreams and towards a better future! Stay safe and we will ride through 2021 together smoothly too!

Hi Karna, Thank you for being so helpful and patience in explaining the insurance policies, also in guiding me to find the most suitable and ideal policies in Singapore. I love the summaries of the insurance plans you have prepared for me so far (including those I have with my previous agents), it’s very useful especially when I have several existing plans and I tend to forget the details of the coverage and benefit easily. Highly recommend to others. Thank you for your time today. See you soon and stay safe :)

Karna is very knowledgeable in assisting me with my queries for estate planning and asset distribution. She was able to give me assurance that my family will be well taken care of when I am not around. Thank you so much for your kind service and explanation.

Monica

I have been thinking of this for awhile now & have really wanted to start on this, Chris & Karna made it so easy for me to absorb the details (not just jargons). I really appreciate how you explain things to me, especially for someone who don’t know much & not sure even on what questions to ask! In the area of protection (TCM benefits), I never know that I have these benefits until you highlighted it to me, and the whole claim process is not as daunting as I would have thought! What is more personal is that we are of similar lifestage & can connect so well, and I am very sure you will connect very nicely with family when they are back in Singapore too! Overall, I am living it now, knowing what these programs & plannings truly mean to me!

Insurance is very important and hence we need to find a reliable agent to oversee our plans. My friend introduced us to Laura & Karna. They are very patient and accommodating. They explained to us thoroughly and make detailed comparisons between different companies. They are always there for us whenever we need them. They are truly 5Cs!
