PLANNING BEYOND FINANCE
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy. ~George Horace Lorimer
Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness. ~Henrik Ibsen
PLAN N PROGRESS is a website created for spreading knowledge on Personal Finance which is essentially deals in money matters . However we know and understand that money is not an end in itself and it's just a means in our journey to have peace , happiness and prosperity . A worried mind can not be happy and hence if we are in a worry - state about our finance , we will not be happy . The endaevour of this site is to mitigate such worries . The goal of money is to have healthy , happy life . Without money and keep worrying about day to day needs , one can not be happy also . As renowned writer Mr Kushwant Singh writes about need of Bank Balance in life ( among other things like Health , Home , understanding companion , good attitude etc ) " Healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, and there should be something to spare for recreation—eating out, going to the movies, travel and holidays in the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one’s own eyes "
Motto of financial planning is to achieve happiness and prosperity . But a person who is ill either physically or mentally or who is in not in peace with him self will not be able to give 100 % to his job and his ability to earn would come down . Even ability to take proper financial decision would come down . While money may be needed to take care of our health problems , health would be needed to maintain our financial capability and earning power . Thus health and money are inter related .
As we age , our worry about our health would escalate . Health may also deteriorate and cost of health management goes on increasing both due to ageing and inflation . Thus keeping good health is vital in our financial plan .
