Bridging the Cultural Divide
Are
You Right for the Expatriate Lifestyle?
| Financial Planning
Household
Staff
For
many, acceptance of a foreign posting provides
an opportunity to save. For many it opens
the doors to new investment and savings opportunities
and financial planning becomes an imperative.
Manila is fortunate in having a number of
specialized companies dealing in professional
financial management services for the expatriate.
You would be wise to consult one or more of
these soon after your arrival. But before
you do so, sit down with your family and discuss
your own needs and requirements. Everyone
is different and nobody can second-guess.
Remember above all that proper financial planning
is a life cycle process, "Womb to Tomb",
where the type of investment and method of
management, like all things, will change during
the period and which will usually be a quantum
of the "RISK FACTOR" tempered by
the ability to properly afford to the take
risk and which prevails at any given time
in your personal investment cycle. Measure
risk, know the difference between speculation
and secure investment, proportion it, and
apply the measure to your investment decisions.
The sooner financial planning is introduced
to your "way of life" better is
the chance of establishing and successfully
managing your personal investment cycle. You
will find a number of useful articles on this
