Education is as important as basic needs such as clothing, food, and home. Education though not essential living needs, but is crucial in building a child’s independence. With education, children can have the basic competencies to become independent individuals, including financially independent.

In preparing to fund education, parents should be able to allocate their income. The more expensive education funds should be prepared, the greater the funds should be allocated.

Because of that there must be planning funds for education, so that parents can afford the tuition fees of children according to education levels. The concept of parent education funds are saved for the entire period of the child’s education fund. Criteria education funding is at the time when it will be used, the amount of education funding is adequate, in accordance with the increase in inflation. This is determined by the ability of parents to save or invest the funds for education. The problem is that not all parents understand how to do money saving effectively, because it’s every parent must have knowledge of investment products and financial instruments as well as understand the risk and return (profit rate).

Target Funds

Financial Independence, Free from Financial Temptation

Financial Independence, Free from Financial Temptation

What is occurred in your mind when you asked to define financial independence?

In a survey conducted Citigroup Asia Pacific, the majority of women define financial independence as “the ability to buy what they want, whenever it is desirable”.

In fact, financial independence is not simply a matter of affordability. Financial independence generally includes five terms. Free from financial temptation ourselves, free from financial dependence on the people who love you, free of dependence on creditors, free of dependence on the job as an employee, and free from financial problems.

For starters, we have tips on getting the first three steps financial freedom.

1. Financial Freedom from Self Temptation
Step 1: prioritize the needs rather than wants, focusing on function rather than prestige, and be aware and avoid influence of friends or your environment.
Step 2: identify your income, how to manage your money, watch your expenses in detail, and record and evaluate your budget regularly and thoroughly.
Step 3: start the habit of saving now.

2. Freedom from Financial Dependence People who love you
As social beings, we are not only thinking about our personal needs only. It is similar with the financial terms. There is a budget for children, husband / wife, parent, in-laws, as well as other relatives.

Step 1: Consider the frequency and amount of your income. First of all, focus on your regular income. Manage and organize your expenditure with reference to fixed income. If there is no fixed income (ex: achievement allowances, bonuses, or THR), we suggest that you divide the income is not fixed is to be 60:40. Sixty percent savings, the rest can you spend.

Step 2: Live a lifestyle that suits your financial capabilities. Do not let the peg is greater than the pole.

Step 3: Begin attempt to invest. However, before investing you should recognize the need, the investment period, investment objectives, financial and capacity. Review and understand them first and forms of investment risk you wish to take.

3. Freedom from dependence on Creditor
Have a financial plan. Make a list that includes long-term financial plan and your short-term. There are four points that need to be studied in compiling this list: your loan payment plan, optimizing the return on money, efforts to protect the financial future, and attempts to balance the need for short and long term.

The Difference between NEEDS VS WANTS

Be careful if you are not able to distinguish between needs and wants. Because if you can not tell which it is entered as a necessity and which are actually entered as a desire, can-can you become a spendthrift and this can be a wasteful source of the problem in your finances. With live lavishly, over time the deficit can occur. Your income is no longer able to backup finance expenditures that continue to grow because of the nature of a spendthrift. And when it’s a deficit, often seek a way out short of the debt. Debt, let alone interest, can make you bankrupt. And bankrupt it is the end of your financial destiny.

Being unable to distinguish between needs and wants, then it is easy you can spend money to buy something. And maybe the money would be more useful if there is used for other things. Can not distinguish between wants and needs can also make you can not properly determine priorities in spending. In fact, you may sacrifice a need to get what you want.

What’s the difference between needs and wants?
Actually there is no definite limit to determine the difference between the needs or want. But as a guide, a friend gave the following definition:
The need is something that is needed by humans so as to achieve prosperity, so that if there is among those needs are not met then people will feel not prosperous or less prosperous. It can be said that the need is something that must exist, because without it our lives had become less prosperous, or at least prosperous. While the desire is something in addition to the expected demand can be met so that these people feel more satisfied. But if the desire is not met then the real welfare is not reduced.

That is if we see in terms of satisfaction or well-being. But a name well-being and satisfaction is also very relative for each person. Something said to be the desire when it is in addition to its primary function. A simple example, eating is an inevitable requirement. It is not only human but every living creature needs to eat. Eating will provide energy and health for humans then eating nutritious foods is the need for all of us. Food has a primary function as a source of energy for the body. While providing good taste is an additional function of the food. So good food is the desire and it is not necessity. But that does not mean should not eat foods that are delicious. It’s just that we need to consider first whether the expenditures for the delicious food that will sacrifice the needs of others or not.
