Step 1
step-1

Understand your financial situation

  • Track and monitor your expenses with Money Insights and create a budget so that you do not overspend.
  • Avoid taking on high-interest debt. Pay off your credit cards on time.
  • Save at least 10% of your monthly salary. Set up a Savings Goal to have at least 6 months of emergency funds.
  • Too much idle cash may not be ideal. Explore OCBC Asset Builder to explore various ways to improve potential returns on your cash holdings.

Ensure that you are adequately insured

You should have:

  • An Integrated Shield Plan / hospital and surgical plan to help with unexpected medical bills.
  • A critical illness plan to support you through loss of income and added expenses. Ideal coverage should be 3.9 times your annual income.
  • A life insurance plan to protect both you and your loved ones. Ideal coverage should be 9-10 times your annual income.

Find investment opportunities with OCBC

Saving alone is not enough to do all that we want in life – retirement, a dream home, your child's university education, enjoying your passion into your golden years – or even short term goals like going on sabbatical to travel the world or setting up a bakery business.

Step 5

Review your finances periodically

Do not be discouraged if you feel that you are not able to meet your goals today. Financial planning is a cycle. After all, circumstances change and needs evolve. 

'Six months' worth of expenses' means different things for a single person, a married couple and a couple with children. Protection needs also change as more people become dependent on you. As your income increases, and you become more confident and knowledgeable, you can also invest more.

A periodic review of your financial plans is crucial to ensuring that you can reach your goals eventually.
