Synopsis

Retirement Planning by Carol Yip

Session 1: Date: July 18, 2010 (Sunday) Time: 10:00am-12:30am
Venue: Level 1, KDU College, SS22/41, Damansara Jaya,PJ

Like it or not, it is stressful when we are not able to manage our own financial resources, especially at old age.

Common contributions to retirement failure could be due to lack of personal knowledge, personal attitudes towards money or misguided expectations and perceptions of financial success that lead to bad financial decisions or choices. Could it also be the inability to plan for your financial future because of your personal
life - relationship or family issues or inability to cultivate your love and interest for investments?

There are no shortages of financial workshops, seminars, reading materials and books with genuine intention to educate you in retirement planning. Maybe the challenge is to promote engagement and motivation to get you started. If you have little basic money management knowledge and retirement planning skills or simply procrastinate and have fear of dealing with financial matters, then this retirement education program is meant for you.

Your retirement success starts from your mindset towards wealth and realization of your money management issues. This retirement education program will provide workable techniques, strategies and tips to jump-start your retirement planning process. The facilitation process will also provide the insights of how your retirement
plan can be impacted by psychological influences.

This program is also designed to focus on teaching the holistic view of retiring from work and how to live life with a purpose, besides money management skills to create your financial nest egg for retirement living.

You will discover that retirement requires more than just the systematic approach of saving and investing your money. You need to be in control, change your perception and attitude to secure your financial future for retirement. After all, it is important to have the ability to make informed judgments and decisions to ensure lifetime financial sustainability. (How to Enrol?)

Writing a will – it is important to sort out the distribution of assets to avoid conflict within the family and/or to give assets to charities. When you have asset that you have worked so hard to acquire and would like your loved ones to receive it without unnecessary delay, intestacy is not the way to go. There are many facets when one writes a will as it contain your wishes as to who is to benefit, when and how distribution is to made. Beneficiaries can be made to work hard to receive their inheritance as well. Having a trust – where you have dependents such as your spouse and children with disability, you would want to provide for their maintenance and medical needs. With a trust you will be able to spell out the usage of the trust assets for the beneficiaries.

Nomination – where EPF moneys have yet to be withdrawn in full, naming a nominee would allow the person to receive the proceeds quickly. The same should also be done for insurance policies. The nominee will receive the proceeds without having to wait for a court order. (How to Enrol?)
