Do you know where are you heading? Are you in the right track? By these questions I am referring to the future, your future! Your future depends on your choices and decisions at present. The future for me is only for those who prepared for it now. So how do we prepare for it? First know your sources and finances. Be that financial expert by just starting with your own personal finance.
Know your financial position. Understand the availability of your personal resources by examining your net worth and household cash flow.

Manage your tax wisely. Reduce the tax burden by taking advantage of the incentive that the government is giving. Understanding how to take advantage of the myriad tax breaks in planning your personal finances can make a significant impact.
Investment matters! When investing, make sure the higher rate of return. Accomplish all these by using asset allocation, which seeks to diversify investment risk and opportunity.
Plan your retirement. How much it will cost you to live at retirement?

Finally make sure to also plan for the deposition of your assets after your death.
