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.
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.

Gary is a really sincere guy. He and his team came to our company to give financial literacy talk more than a month ago. It was super informative and really helpful in terms of looking at the risks and also giving us latest trends in insurance coverage. Few weeks later he came back to meet me to answer some questions about investment risks and insurance coverage that I had. He did not to try to sell me financial products but instead was trying his best to educate me about my risks and how I could reduce risk and grow my wealth in order to have a safe financial standing for retirement. He is also quick answering questions and following up via WhatsApp/ text and email. I really appreciate his work ethic and professionalism. Thank you Gary. ☺️🙏

Gary is very knowledgeable in sharing his products with his clients. When I was unsure about what i want, he was able to clearly lay out for me my options and i was able to get a clear understanding of what I was lacking and in the end i was able to make the best decisions for myself. He is also very prompt in his replies and after-sales service as he will check in with me once every while. I feel that he makes me comfortable to approach him and he does not make it feel like I'm pressured to purchase any products from him.

Happy to meet Gary! He makes it easy for me by explaining my policies in simple terms, so that I know exactly what I’m covered for. He also gives helpful advice that makes me feel secure about my choices. Well done!

I was not aware of my lack in coverage on certain policies until I met up with Gary who did a comprehensive review and understand my current situation. I am also grateful that he assisted in the application of my new policies.
