As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire. For all these, moms deserve more thoughts besides during Mother’s Day. But should mothers also think about planning their own retirement — financially speaking? In this issue, as we give tributes to all mothers, we would also like to give thoughts to a mother’s financial freedom. Mothers deserve a worry-free retirement as well.

Mums, pay attention to finances

Financial experts advise that it makes sense for mothers (and just about anyone) to pay attention to their financial affairs. According to the US-based National Centre for Women and Retirement Research, nine out of 10 women will eventually have to manage their finances on their own at some point, due to circumstances ranging from leaving the workforce to care for a family member, to becoming divorced or finding themselves widowed.

Nazreen. Teacher

I reminisced the time when I met Lata at the most unexpected place - an acquaintance's birthday party. It was a very good coincidence to meet a financial planner at the right timing in my life. Lata has shown such genuine care and concern when I told her about my new marital status - freshly divorced and a mother to 2 young lives. I was not financially savvy so I listened with full focus when Lata started to give advice about my high maintanence car. 'Sell it, Naz.. Or scrap it. You can save much more.' That was the first advice she gave. I heeded her advice. That eased my financial burden a lot. The next thing for my financial freedom was to settle all credit card debts, which I did. I couldn't be more thankful to Lata for the golden advice. She is always offering her help in anything that she sees she can do. The biggest change Lata had for me was to relook at my medical plan I had covered. She was there for me advising me even though I had an insurance policy covering my hospitalisation. It is certainly rare to have someone guide you unconditionally when you need it at the right time right place. Lata was the right financial advisor for me. Eventually she also looked into my children's well being and chose the best option for their medical care policies and education too. I am so grateful for Lata and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs genuine advice and wisdom in financial planning . Thanks to Lata, I am able to manage my finances better and carve a more stable future planning for my 2 young lives.

Lata has been one of the most sincere and authentic financial consultants I have met. Having purchased quite a number of policies in the past, I was put in a position to transfer my policy to be placed under her care. She diligently showed me how I could save on my policy, detect what I needed at this stage of my life with great clarity and consult me on what aspects can be replaced. Her knowledge about the company’s products is unmatched when I compare her with others I have dealt with in the past. Her kind, pleasant disposition and patience is a reason I feel she has scaled to where she is now. I have total clarity about my medical needs and wellbeing now and with her instant replies, I now know I am in good hands.

I've known Lata for a while now. Lata is warm, caring, and trustworthy. I generally dread working with financial planners but with Lata I feel at ease. I know that she has my best interests at heart, and I trust her advice. At this point, Lata is not only my financial planner, but she has become a good friend as well. Thanks for everything Lata!

I came to know Lata only in May 2020. She took over my policies when my agent left. Lata has great customer service and always expeditiously replies my queries. Somehow, she knows I cannot wait for her replies and will immediately handle my queries even when she is about to go into a meeting in two minutes. She will forward links to me and assist me in following up. I know I am not her only client but her urgency to respond to me is ridiculously fast. I and glad Lata won the MDRT award and I believe there will be many more to come. Cheers Lata and continue to feel the pulse of your clients!
