Transform your relationship with money, become financially confident and achieve financial peace of mind

- Narayan Krishnamurthy

Every New Year, scores of people set resolutions that invariably revolve around diet and fitness. Some manage to keep up with it for long, but most of them give up by the time the first month is over. This new financial year, make a plan to turn over a new leaf when it comes to your money and focus on achieving financial fitness. With travel restrictions off and vacations round the corner, shopping lists and travel plans could be in full swing. There is no better time than now to check on your finances to improve your fiscal fitness and take control of your money.

For the uninitiated, financial fitness is like physical fitness because it affects your well-being. Unlike physical fitness which involves gaining stamina, building muscle and being functionally efficient, financial fitness involves building financial reserves and making your money work efficiently. Another way to differentiate between the two is to understand physical fitness as something that helps you live well in old age; financial fitness is all about helping you cope with financial challenges and providing you the cushion to retire comfortably.

Physical fitness doesn’t happen automatically and we need to work on it. We need to make time for it, start small, build it up, maintain it and make it a way of life. Fiscal fitness is not very different, especially when one doesn’t find that much time to think about it. However, the benefit of being financially fit is that it prepares you for the future, safeguards the family and eventually provides you with adequate money for a comfortable retired life. It is not easy getting into any fitness routine, so don’t look for excuses. Help secure your future by working on making yourself financially fit.
