4 reasons you should never write a Will

4 reasons you should never write a Will

What’s all the fuss about writing a Will? You’ve watched it in movies and heard too much talk about writing a Will but you know deep within that you don’t want to do it. You think it’s a preparation for demise. Well, we’ve compiled some reasons you may not need to write a Will. Take a look.

No family or dependent

If you don’t have children or family you love who depend on you financially, then don’t write a Will. Knowing that anything can happen at any time, don’t be the person that leaves their family financially unprotected.

Don’t care how your estate is disbursed

If you don’t care who gets all you’ve worked hard for, then there’s no use writing a Will. Not writing one can mean that the uncle you didn’t like or the cousin that you never knew could turn up and take the lion’s share of your properties should anything happen to you. Would you like that?

You think peace of mind is overrated

If you will not like to have your mind at rest just knowing that your spouse, children, aged parents and all those you care about will be well-off if anything happened to you, then why write a Will? All a Will does is help you rest easy and enjoy a good quality of life knowing everyone that matters is sorted legally in case of any uncertainty.

Don’t care about leaving a legacy

Most parents want to leave a legacy for their children be it in terms of estate, knowledge or setting an example. When you set the example of writing a Will in order to preserve wealth for your loved ones, your children are bound to pick up on that and the chain continues. If you don’t care about leaving that worthy footprint in the sands of time, then don’t write a Will.

 

Just before you leave, remember that only a Will can convey the wishes of a person when they are not there. Imagine what will become of the loved ones of that person who leaves this world with nothing to speak for them.

Are you paid fairly

Are you paid fairly

This is a thought-provoking question as we round off 2018.

For all the hard work you do, your commitment and more – are you paid the right wage? Whether your answer is yes or no, consider this – no amount of money you are paid today counts really, what counts is what you do with it. Let me explain.

Even if you earn a six-figure salary and mouth-watering bonuses every other month, if you don’t manage your finances well enough and invest a fraction, many years down the line, you may still stay stagnant financially or worse still, go under depending on the lifestyle you choose to adopt.

The question then shouldn’t stop at asking if you’re paid fairly. In fact, it’s at this point you should begin to evaluate how you spend what you earn. If all you ever do is spend as you earn, forget financial freedom, with the ever-increasing cost of living in Nigeria, you may soon find yourself in debt.

Back to the question

Now let’s get back to the question: how do you spend what you earn? It’s imperative that you know where your money is going in order to account for it. This is what budgeting is really about.

When your budget only features bills, needs, wants or debts there’s a big problem. Why? Because you can never be financially free if you live to work and spend it all. Have you thought about the day you won’t be so young and agile enough to work as you do now? What if along the line, you have an emergency that needs money to solve, can you sincerely say you have an emergency fund somewhere? Better still, wouldn’t you like the peace that comes with knowing that even when you’re not working, you are making money? Think about it.

Wouldn’t it be a dream come true to have enough money, your own home and the freedom to go and do whatever you want especially as you get older without your heart skipping at the thought of the financial implication?

To get this life, you must focus on what you do with what you are paid while striving to get to a place where you are paid better.

One way to get closer to the affluent lifestyle is to make investing a habit. With focus, consistency, patience and a willingness to dream big, the sky will only be your starting point. Ready to play it big? Explore investment options at www.arminvestmentcenter.com
