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?

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.

Daniel Chew. NUS Student.

I was referred to Yuhong by a good friend of mine many months ago. Since then, I have gotten to chat with him multiple times about my financial plans and goals. From our discussions, I find Yuhong to be resourceful, engaging and someone that sets himself apart from other financial planners! He's definitely worth your time! Highly recommend!

Adilah. Mother & MOE Teacher.

One of the best decisions I made for myself in 2022 was to engage Yu Hong as my financial advisor. Interestingly, the first time I met Yu Hong for financial planning wasn't even for myself! It was actually a meet-up for my husband. My husband had no insurance coverage in Singapore and was adamant that he didn't need any, until he met Yu Hong. The first meeting with Yu Hong went a lot like a chat under the sun with a long-lost friend. We spoke openly about our dreams, goals and financial limitations. The conversation was effortless and vulnerable; no pretense and just filled with hope and faith. Yu Hong's sincerity and genuine efforts in learning about us before planning for my husband's policies truly shifted my view about financial planners. A month later, while going through my own policies, I realised that I may be spending more than I needed. Even though Yu Hong wasn't my financial advisor then, I turned to him for help in looking through my policies. The fact that he got back to me promptly with a customised document designed just for me and took me through my policies spoke volume about how earnest he is helping others. I think what really moved me was the fact that he honestly had nothing to gain from me and he could easily have rejected my request and directed me to my then-financial advisor. But without any perks on his ends, he painstakingly reviewed my policies and dedicated his time to help me better understand my insurance coverage. It was obviously a no-brainer for me to transfer my policies over to Yu Hong because at the end of the day, you'd want a financial advisor who is truly passionate about serving his best for you. Yu Hong is that man, rooting for you in the corner.. never pushing you for his own benefits but only giving gentle nudges to steer you towards the right direction in managing your finances. Both my husband and I are confident that we made the right choice in engaging Yu Hong as our financial advisor. We trust that he'd be there when times are difficult for us. True enough, Yu Hong was there when I had health complications during my postpartum period. Without a second thought, he came down to the hospital and waited patiently for me to be admitted. He even had a coat ready to offer since it was freezing in the waiting area. His actions are true testament to who Yu Hong is as a person; a compassionate man with a magnanimous heart. Thank you Yu Hong for not only being our financial advisor, but a confidante to both of us. We are blessed to have you in our lives.

Lim Jun Jie. SIT SIE(BS) Student

I met Yu Hong during my national service days. Despite his heavy duty as a commander, he always spends time listening to his team's concerns and working towards our goals together. Thus, I trust him and his services. We had a few financial advisory sessions, and I feel he always tries his best to understand my situation and challenges before advising me. Not only does he has vast financial knowledge, he often simplifies them for me, making sure that I fully understand the available options. I truly appreciate that he is transparent and not pushy, which made me feel comfortable throughout our sessions. Most importantly, he always checks in with me to make sure I am living well, if I'm on track toward my goal, and offers me his help whenever I need them. I feel reassured and motivated to have his help.

Aidil. Police Cadet.

I really like how Yu Hong engages and guides me to achieve my financial goals. As a person who is not financially literate, he explains and simplifies each policies through graphs and slides. It has helped me to understand them better! In addition, he is not pushy to sell me policies which makes the meetings comfortable. Overall, my experience is very positive as he understands client's needs and guides them to the policies that fits their financial goals.

Ke Cheng. Student.

I've known Yuhong since our army days, and it's great to see him doing something he enjoys and helping his clients with their finances. What I really appreciate about Yuhong is that he takes the time to understand my specific needs before tailoring a financial plan. He's not pushy or anything, but he gives me solid advice that helps me make better decisions. I'm excited to continue learning from him and hearing his financial tips!

Jun Wen. IT Manager.

I've been working with Yu Hong for the past year and I can confidently say that he has been a tremendous help to me. His expertise in insurance has allowed me to secure the coverage I need to protect my future and give me peace of mind. Not only has Yu Hong helped to navigate the complex world of insurance, but he has also provided valuable guidance and advice on my overall financial plan. He takes the time to understand my goals and priorities and offers tailored solutions that fit my unique needs. I appreciate Yu Hong's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to his clients. He is always available to answer my questions and is proactive in reviewing my policies to ensure I have the right coverage at the right price. If you're looking for a financial planner who can provide comprehensive insurance solutions and help you achieve your financial goals, I highly recommend working with Yu Hong.
