Don’t forget to live now

Financial planning is an essential part of achieving your financial goals, whether it's saving for retirement, a down payment on a house, or your child's education. But financial planning is not just about saving money; it's also about making sure you're able to enjoy life while you're still young and healthy and be able to live a rich life, being able to have those experiences you would like to have.

Many people make the mistake of saving for retirement at the expense of living a fulfilling life. This can lead to regret when they finally retire and are no longer able to do the things they've always dreamed of doing. When you are 80 you will not be able to have a roundtrip through Europe anymore or climb the Mount Everest.
