One does not need an expert financial advisor to list out all the importance of personal finance to know that it is extremely important. Making the optimal finance decision is a lifelong journey of learning. At every stage in life, we are met with the need to make proper finance decision, from getting the first savings account to getting our first BTO, all requires reading up and research to a certain extend in order to make the right decision.
With the help of the internet, it is definitely more accessible to information these days and the help of financial blogs definitely made the journey of personal finance a more pleasant one. However, when it comes to certain topic, endless hours of aimless researching might not be more efficient than heading straight down to a seminar or talk focus on tackling it.
Below are some of the events for the coming month of May which we believed is worth spending time on:
