Well, Im just a small fish in a very big pond writing to open up as many eyes as possible about what can happen to you if you FAIL to protect yourself.
Please bear with me. This is my first time doing a blog and I hope I can reach out even more to public and show what's really happening.
Last July 25, a friend of mine (name wont be disclosed) got into an accident here in Singapore while staying here as a tourist. It happened in Raffles area while crossing the street. The accident gave her a broken left leg that needs surgery and wounds in the right leg. She stayed in Singapore General Hospital and was warded in B Class ward for only 4days.
I managed to visit her on 28th of July, her last day in the hospital. On my visit, what I just wanted to do is to cheer her up since she feels alone because all her families are in the Philippines.
After a few moment, the staff nurse asked me to go to the Business Office and get the bill. To my surprise, it went up to $20,565.10! It's equivalent to P650,000 just in 4 days! Please see the photo below for the actual bill...
Now, my friend is recovering.
By the way, the doctor still wanted her to go back for a follow up treatment after couple of weeks. She will be extended here for follow up treatments. And that will incur a lot of costs again.
WHY DID I SHARE THIS STORY???
Imagine yourself in her shoes, as a working individual, single or married. Yet, you always think like...
"It's just a cost for me here!"
"Not my priority"
"I got a lot of things I need to settle right now, I don't have a budget for that"
"Well, I've never been hospitalised since I was born"
"If nothing happens to me, I just wasted my money"
Well anyway, who in a normal state of mind would want to get into an accident or even an illness.. of course NO ONE!
This is what we call Wealth Protection of Financial Planning.
Most of us thinks that its just a waste of money! For those people who think that way, I stand firm in my decision that you are very very wrong! We experienced it badly. Those people who don't even bother protecting themselves are always the ones who end up using all their life savings, investments and all of their assets just to pay for the bills. I've seen this happen so many times but still so many people don't understand what they're doing.
Guys, WAKE UP! Life is not just about us... Its also about the people we loved. Have you ever think that whatever happens to you, it will affect your financial stability and without good financial support, physically and mentally people around you will get drained as well.
Investments you have right now will not guarantee you exactly where it will turn out, but one of these five might hit you earlier...
-Death
-Disability
-Critically Ill
-Accidents
-hospitalised
Imagine what will happen to you and your family if any of that seriously hit you...
I don't say not to do investment or anything that will generate more wealth for you guys. Im pointing out here that we should all give an importance to protecting yourself as you are the main important asset. With enough protection, you can guarantee yourself with full care and support without sacrificing all your hard efforts.
