For Financial planning, keep it simple. Buy a term plan and medical plan. A term of 30 years should suffice for most young parents as this is crucial time when you have dependents. Buy directly from online, save $$. Unless you wanna leave a “legacy” behind when you are not around as Insurance Agent would claim it, then donate your money to them for planning. Else, self planning can be quite easy these days. As for wealth accumulation, do DCA via app. Choose a trusted platform. If you are going for mutual fund/UT in the name of diversification, choose a platform with 0% sales charge. But do note of the annual feel which is minor. Cheers A CG fan!

Good debt- I’m 22 from the UK. my parents had 2 rental properties. I told them to refinance, and leverage the equity as the houses appreciated 100k each. Now they have 4 rental properties, higher rental income allowed them to retire. And the houses have gone up so much already! Around 30k each so they are up 60k from this move plus the extra passive income! I allowed my parents to become financially free

Hi, love the content as always! Fellow insurance agent here, would like to point out a few things from my POV. Yes i do agree to a certain extent that ILP (the ones with insurance and investment components) are not cost effective. However, there are newer ILPs out there right now where it is 100% investment allocation without the insurance component. Returns might not be able to outperform stock picks (if they know what they are doing) but the returns are definitely not too shabby based on what I see from my clients portfolio. May not be the best investment tool out there, but definitely not the worst as it can outperform investments such as robo. More importantly, I feel that it is useful for people who do not have the time, knowledge or passion to kickstart/manage their own investments as it is still better than leaving the money in the bank or not doing anything at all. This is just my opinion, no hate for me being a FA pls :P

@thebestbees3 жыл бұрын
I agree, maybe only a handful of ILP are decent, otherwise most ILP are very bad and poorly structured. For insurance I still feel the essential ones are hospital plan and term plans… maybe endowment at a small amount with those coverage where it waives off the premium when illnesses happens !
@kennytan50553 жыл бұрын
Hmmm. I know you are trying to savage fellow insurance agents ricebowl. But why invest in ILP without any insurance component when there is ETF or Unit Trust? In my own opinion, I think ILP is for those with any financial knowledge any 'sold' by the agents. No hard feeling. I am RNF licensed as well, Associate Financial Planner.

In my 20th I was sold Prudential endowment plans 3 times by the same lady lol, 1st plan is 106$ a month for 20 yrs (9 yrs passed), 2nd is 300$ a month for 20 yrs (4 yrs passed), 3rd is 550$ a month for 5 yrs (4 yrs passed), I thought that's gonna guarantee my retirement. When I started to follow Ken's channel I realized I had made some mistakes of putting money in endowment in my early days. I have a house in Johor which is empty forever and paying 1000$ a month for 20 years, which I thought it was an asset. 3.16% interest every month till I'm 50 years old. I rushed into commodity market in Jan 2020 and without good knowledge I got a big fat margin call in March and have lost 40000$ in a night and had 4 months of sleepless nights. Well as much as I try to take things positive and be grateful that I have made such mistakes in my early stage, still I always hope that I could have learnt the financial knowledge to avoid these hard lessons. Now been dumping whatever I could into Tesla as it's still considering stupidly cheap, giving myself a 100$ free spending budget a month, no credit card, no debt apart from my mortgage, no margin, no dating, no party, full speed to get back on track! I'll get what I have lost.

re: gym membership. 90% of people quit bc they "don't want it bad enough(being in shap)". For me, its part of my life since 16, now almost 40, I feel weird if I don't hit the gym. You can however take Kens approach and pay a lot of money to go, and mentally it might actually work. If you start going consistently, it becomes part of you. Then once you know what you're doing, and can train by yourself, well now, you can reduce that big bill, and just pay a flat $30/mo. Thats just one thing though, many people have subs that they just forget about...netflix, amazon prime, youtube, hulu, an extra tv receiver they never use from $insert cable provider, then they just forget about it, and it ends up leeching $10-100/mo out of your pocket and you dont' even use it. That crap, you need to trim. But most people are not financially aware.

When i became more financially "woke" and decided to take charge of my own finance, i realise that the endowment plan was totally not worth it at all and it was totally a trap. to even get back some "returns", i would probably be in my 70s (in my 20s now btw). After calculations, too late to get out of the plan. But i dont blame them because they did not have the luxury of gaining financial knowledge.

@@realcafemoney Poorly educated, no. Poorly advised? Yes. Endowment plans are not supposed to be long term investment plans but more of plans to encourage building a discipline of savings and “investing” back in the days. Because financial literacy is increasing today, financial advisors also have to adjust to financial advising instead of hard-selling. Just because of the time you came from are filled with “insurance agents” doesn’t mean all financial advisors are out there to do sales. Feel free to debate with me, i would like to know where your viewpoint comes from and if anything, could be a good learning point for both.
@colnn3 жыл бұрын
Compared to investment plans, endowment plans can have a lock-up period of only 5 years. There’re not supposed to be considered as investment plans. Also, for them to even start it for you proves that they’re sort of financially literate, just poorly advised at the time. Secondly, investing is NOT as easy as people make it to be. “diamond hands” is not investing. Investing requires you to actively manage your investments. By just buying index funds like S&P 500 you are potentially limiting yourself to alpha. If just holding popular index funds will outdo investment plans, insurance companies will fail. BlackRock will not survive. If Warren Buffet can praise it, the only reason to not complement your portfolio with it, is, if your portfolio is generating consistent returns above alpha. In this case, your parents should have gotten an investment policy for you instead. Because people have full time jobs and commitments, active investing is not a viable option for majority of the people.

Most people would pay for gym memberships to "force" themselves to go and especially more true for people who have the New Year's Resolution of being fit and healthy. But my take on it is that gym memberships is a lifestyle change for you to maintain a healthy lifestyle or if you are highly motivated to have the ideal body type you are looking for. In a sense, I would say that gym memberships are kind of different from other memberships but also depending on how you view it as well. Personally, I pay for the gym because I workout pretty regularly just to keep fit and I'm paying for a more expensive membership because of convenience(multiple gyms and 1 close to my home), as well as better equipments/facilities. There are many gyms available with varying price points but I would think gym memberships should be viewed more of a lifestyle change. Like most people always say, "Health is Wealth".

Personally, ILP is not a fair comparison in this case on an investment channel. Nobody buys ILP hoping to be a millionaire someday. The only investment factor is just choice of funds,giving the possibility of breaking even and adding on into your retirement fund later. If not, as compared to a ILP, traditional life plan is pretty much dead in terms of ROI and etc. So it really boils down to intention of picking it up. Just my 2¢ worth. TGIF guys!

Agree with many points but disagree with the comments on ILPs. I’m not a financial advisor but so I can unbiasedly comment that generalising ILPs as bad is unfair and inaccurate. ILPs serve many purposes. Being regular premium products, they force average millennials to get invested in the market regularly. It builds a habit to regularly set aside monies for future use, instead of spending it all today. It’s easy to say throw some money into SP500. But very few can discipline themselves to do so every single month, especially when the markets appear bearish. I’ve also noticed that some ILPs are able to do waiver of premiums and offer sizeable benefits , in the event death or disabilities occur. It serves different functions for different use cases. Of course if time horizon is too short, then bad surrender charges would hit. But if one has a long extended time horizon like 10 or 20 years, and one stays invested all the way, his returns could be as much or if not more than the person to throws money into the SP500 only when things look up. Let’s be honest, not many have the courage to go into the market when things look bearish.

There was a snack seller who came regularly to my ex company selling keropok in a bundle of 3 for $10. She charged $3 for 1. My colleagues bought the bundle 😂

Is CPF voluntary contribution a "money trap"?

Why is ILP a money trap? The cost of insurance is the lowest in this instance as compared to other whole life plans where they predicts your life expectancy first before stating the cost. Unless you mean insurance is generally a money trap. I've bought into full ILP without the insurance portion though, the benefits from the insurers are worth it, with 100% of your money invested on day 1. If you believe in ILPs, you will never look at endowments plans. Gym memberships - at the end of they day as long as it makes someone feel good on their general well being its still worth it, regardless how long they commit per week etc. I feel buying a car is the biggest money trap, especially.... where can you go now since the past year? At the end of the day the word 'convenience' is the biggest money traps - as highlighted in much in this video. Thanks for video guys - love it! shed some lights to the alot people out there.

omg in sydney australia, there will be people who purposely park illegally because the fine they get is AU$78 and a full day of parking can easily be more than AU$120. i do join calisthenics and exercise groups and buy resistance bands that have no brand to not pay for gym memberships. I also try to cycle everywhere thats within 10km, there is a park connector in most parts of central and east. I got burned by insurance linked plans before, they promised 20 percent within 3 years but i got back negative returns haha.
