Why Financial Planning Is Important
Nobody hopes to burn a hole in their pocket for the sake of upgrading. Saving accumulation and CPF interest compounding will take years to reach certain amount. Upgrade to private property for better lifestyle or upgrade to bigger spaces such as EA or EM is not an easy process and is not suitable for every aspiring HDB upgraders.
Financial Planning & Timeline Planning
During each meetup with every client, I will be doing both financial planning and timeline planning because these two come hand-in-hand. Not only those plans are for their understanding whether they are overstretch in their budget, those plans prepare them what lies ahead for them depending where they upgrade to.
Financial Planning is as important as Timeline Planning!

Financial planning is not as easy as ABC. It requires a lot of attention to listen to clients' requirement, needs and aspiration. It also involves digesting various figures such as monthly income, monthly CPF contribution, CPF amount in OA, refunded CPF, cash savings, HDB maximum loan, bank maximum loan amount etc.
