This document provides an overview of personal financial planning. Personal financial planning involves analyzing one's current financial position and predicting short and long-term needs. It includes planning for acquiring assets like investments and property, managing one's financial position, saving and investing, managing liabilities and insurance, tax planning, employee benefits, retirement, and estate planning. Saving and investment planning becomes more important as income increases to overcome inflation. Insurance can help manage risks like liability, death, health issues and long-term care, while also providing some tax benefits. Retirement planning determines how to fund expenses after work, while estate planning involves distributing assets after death typically through a will.
