Back to Articles

Have you ever wondered why self medicate on financial terms is bad for your financial goals, even when there are tons of information available on the internet. Here are 3 reasons on why you need a Financial Planner in 2023 to kickstart your year and make realistic steps towards your financial goals! 

About half of Singaporeans never consulted a financial planner

Without the proper treatment and medication on their financial “symptoms and prevailing conditions”, most of them will miss out of a well-structured financial plan as per expectations. You cant fix what you don’t know.

A medical checkup on your financial health

Just like how it’s not a good idea to self-medicate, you need a professional to diagnose your true financial situation. A discussion with a financial consultant is similar to seeing a doctor for a health checkup — while one is about physical health, the other is about financial health.

Achievable goals rather than an idea

It is important to know that working with information you find online or through your close friends might not give you the most accurate picture of your current financial situation. Speaking with a certified financial planner can guide you on how you should best invest your cash.

Identify the bigger picture of your current assets

A certified financial planner works together with you step-by-step to create a financial plan that suits your current lifestyle and future needs. The plan involves not just individually, but also for your closest kins as this is dependable on your goals.

A trusted advisor that works well and understand you

Just like going for a medical checkup, you trust the “doctor” to give you the best suited advise according to your situation. They help to create opportunities to better maximize returns on your resources.
