      Financial Planning should be a non-negotiable practice amongst all of us, looking at the dreadful numbers about people’s money managing skills today. According to a financial freedom survey by Scripbox, 80% of Indian Investors are unsure of their retirement planning. Counter checking this data, Max Life Insurance’s India Retirement Index Study discovered that four out of five Indians fear that their savings might not last through retirement*. Financial Planning is hence, an inevitable practice for anyone who wishes to systematically manage their finances. It is an important aspect of ensuring a secure and prosperous future. In this blog post, we will discuss why financial planning is important and more importantly, and the benefits of financial planning.

      Elements of Financial Planning

      1. Setting financial goals

      First things first. Before curating a financial plan, it is important to define your future goals. These goals can be short-term or long-term and can range anywhere from saving for a down payment on a house to planning for retirement. It is important to have pragmatic and measurable goals in order to track your progress and make customization as needed.

      2. Creating a budget

      A budget helps you stay on track with your goals. It is a roadmap that tells you how to spend your money, and also helps you stay on track with your pre-set goals. It is important to be realistic and honest with yourself when creating a budget and to ensure that you are not overspending in any one area.

      3. Evaluating Risk Appetite

      Never bite more than you can chew. Understand your risk appetite before investing in any volatile asset classes. This is a healthy financial planning practice that ensures you do not take risks beyond a certain level that takes a toll on your savings.

      4. Managing debt

      Managing debt includes paying off any outstanding debts and avoiding taking on new debt whenever possible. It is also important to understand the different types of debts and their impact on your credit score.

      5. Saving and Investing

      Saving and Investing includes setting aside money for emergencies and for long-term goals, such as retirement. One should have a diversified investment portfolio and to regularly review and adjust it as needed. However, make sure to have an emergency fund before putting any money into other investment instruments. Ideally, financial experts suggest having an emergency fund that covers three-six months’* worth of your expenses.
