Write the goals down
Education, a home, retirement, a family trip or an emergency reserve — each becomes plannable only when it has an estimated cost and a target date.
Vague intentions cannot be funded. Costed, dated goals can.
Understand the surplus available
Your monthly surplus is what remains after living expenses, EMIs and premiums. Every goal draws on that same surplus, which is why sequencing matters.
Protect the plan first
An emergency reserve and adequate life and health cover protect the plan from being derailed. These usually come before long-dated accumulation goals.
