RELATABLE: Be realistic when setting financial goals
SHAH ALAM - Recognise your desire first, know what your goals are in the future, says associate financial planner Erin Adlina Adnan.
Speaking up in Sinar Daily’s Relatable “Women: Caught in the Financial Vortex”, she said women should be aware of their incomes.
“You have to be aware of how much you earn and what is your desired net worth in the future and check back with your current job. Am I healthily heading towards the direction of my desired income?
“If it’s lower than it should be, find alternatives or solutions. It doesn’t necessarily have to be two or three incomes,” she said.
Hence, Erin suggested the solution could be found by asking questions to the superiors at work- where that also applied to her work scope.
Shared Erin, she learned more about her clients and same goes to the client who would ask her questions.
“Write them down, be sure of what you want first, you have to know what’s your future, what’s your goal in the future,” she advised.
The programme also brought Wahine Capital founder, Rejina Rahim as the co-panellist and talked about women’s financial literacy and their financial involvement in a marriage.
