A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire. For all these, moms deserve more thoughts besides during Mother’s Day. But should mothers also think about planning their own retirement — financially speaking? In this issue, as we give tributes to all mothers, we would also like to give thoughts to a mother’s financial freedom. Mothers deserve a worry-free retirement as well.

4 Things Mothers in Singapore Should Do to Plan for Their Finances

A 2015 survey showed that 75% of Singaporean mothers surveyed had not even thought about retirement, let alone started planning for it. If you’re spending all your energy running after the kids or making sure they pay attention during tuition, here four things you should not forget to do for your finances.

Mums, pay attention to finances

Financial experts advise that it makes sense for mothers (and just about anyone) to pay attention to their financial affairs. According to the US-based National Centre for Women and Retirement Research, nine out of 10 women will eventually have to manage their finances on their own at some point, due to circumstances ranging from leaving the workforce to care for a family member, to becoming divorced or finding themselves widowed.

Jin Xing (Executive)

Ben approached me on several occasions and went through with me about my current coverage and what could be improved on. After listening, I realized that I might need additional hospital coverage as I do not have any rider in place due to the plan being passed down by my parents. Upon looking up the recommendation plan proposed, I found that it satisfy my needs better and hence decided to take it up. Ben has been very patient and gave me time to think it through. Would definitely recommend to my friends!

With a pleasant personality, Ben creates a safe and comfortable environment to discuss the sometimes sensitive or personal issues that come with insurance and financial planning. I also appreciate the patience and time Ben gives when explaining policies and clarifying doubts. A responsible person at heart, I trust Ben to take good care of all his clients.

Joel (Product Manager)

I bought the AIA hospital plan from Benjamin. I've known him back during our NS days. He is a down-to-earth person whom I feel comfortable entrusting the insurance planning to. Ben takes the time to patiently explain the policy coverage and does not hard-sell products that are not required based on my needs and abilities at the moment. Recommend.
