Our error lies in mentally fixing our future according to present conditions. Middle Life Crisis – Too tired to work but too broke to quit. Do you think retirement is cheap?

1. Live Poor, Die Poor - Those who are not willing to
sacrifice and pay the price for a better and comfortable future. Financially unable to cope up with present needs due to poor planning and wrong priorities in handling budget. Can’t afford to pay life insurance premium.
2. Live Rich, Die Poor - Too busy in accumulating assets
& investing in ventures that usually promise high returns. Risk taker. Usually driven by greed and ambition but has not much concern of securing the future. Poor financial planner. Does not believe any financial plans or life insurance. Have a mindset that he is better able in handling his finances than entrusting it to a financial planner or to a financial institution.
3. Live Poor, Die Rich - Always worried of the future.
Savings thru the hard and old-fashioned way. Not willing to consider other alternatives. Not open to change. Believes that his savings program is good enough and religiously practices it.
4. Live Rich, Die Rich - Believes in Financial Planning.
Informed and intelligent planner who knows how to take advantage of risk free financial plans. Knows how to live a balanced life and is much able to take care of his needs and that of his family.
