Personal financial planning is significant because it is the effectively method for planning
and managing personal financial activities such as income received, spending, saving,
investing includes protecting an individual each of his family. Mr Zainudin can also assess the
most prevalent and crucial components to have an enriching life experience. So, based on Mr
Zainudin’s financial planning, there are some suggestions and recommendation for him to
make some improvement towards his family financial planning.
First, Mr. Zainudin recommends making a special budget for his family. Based on his
financial records, he faces less risk because his total expenses do not exceed his annual
income. However, he needs to be more careful and always remind himself to reduce
unnecessary expenses. Also, creating a budget is a great way to understand your financial
constraints. Therefore, he also needs to ensure that his entire family follows the budget that
has been made continuously to get a better surplus than the deficit every year.
Second, Mr. Zainudin needs to focus on saving and it can be done by making a budget
with the children and teaching them about the importance of saving. Even if the children are
grown up, it is not a wrong way to persuade them about the good side of saving to get better
results for their own family. As a result, children will be careful in spending the money given
by their parents. However, it does not mean that Mr. Zainudin and his family cannot spend on
any entertainment etc. but they must use the money according to their reasonable financial
ability.
Finally, he supposedly needs to cut down on household expenses. From the outflow
statement shows that household expenses have the most amount spent in a year. It is quite
worrying because this expense alone is close to Mr. Zainudin's total income every year. So, he
needs to ensure that these expenses are reduced by using methods such as making a list of
essential needs needed for the whole family and prioritizing the need to continue daily life so
that each can enjoy even at a moderate rate.
