CPF Cash Flow Management Program

Are You Ready to Manage Your Cash Flow?

Many of us take for granted our steady income and cash flow because we're confident of our financial status.

But managing your cash flow requires discipline. It can also be challenging in times of emergencies.

"They knew they’d marry someday, and they knew they wanted to have children someday — but they were in their early 20s, that stage of life when adventures beckon, responsibilities feel light and time feels limitless.
Then Ryan got sick. Everything stopped: Work, travel, plans for the future. Bethany took a hiatus from her job as a designer at the University of Oregon’s Duck Stores; her colleagues there donated their vacation time so she could care for Ryan and still receive a paycheck."

What gift you would give to someone you love, if you know that you would not be around forever? Would it be too late to start considering it when you knew?

Accidents can happen to ANYBODY

So much hype about the recent crash between the ferrari and cabby. I've seen some pretty surprising comments on fb and the online articles actually. and these from people who are just incested at the rich people in Singapore.

for example: just take a gander down the stream of comments regarding donations to the cabby's family..

What do you say?

A Mother's Love knows no bounds.

Never Give Up.

"When illness strikes, for many, financial worry looms larger than health concerns, which is sad. This should not be the case. We should take the effort to have proper financial planning to cover future healthcare issues: big and small. We should also focus on living healthy and fruitful lives."

The Coming Special Needs Care Crisis

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/04/29/an-epidemic-of-special-needs-kids-heads-for-a-crisis-of-care.html
"But for most parents, it’s the day-to-day stuff that consumes them: the hours of therapy, the doctor visits, the financial pressures, and the grinding anxiety that comes with it all. It is a rough, often isolating road. And one that promises to become even more challenging as our society enters a new, more complicated era of caregiving. That era is coming in part because many of the medical and social advances that have improved the lives of special-needs individuals have also increased the burden of caring for them. For instance, people with Down syndrome were once lucky to survive to age 30; today, the average lifespan is 55. This presents parents (and society more broadly) with the challenge of somehow providing for an adult child decades after their own deaths, a situation complicated by the fact that the Down population develops Alzheimer’s at a rate of 100 percent, typically in their 40s or 50s."

These are the problems that parents face when raising a child with disabilities, from birth. What about someone who is used to being self-sufficient? What would one do about the financial and emotional problems is suddenly stricken with disability? would you be able to cope with relying on others for daily living?

thinking hard,
