When we were growing up, most of our parents held on to their first jobs irrespective of how little they were earning. Upon retirement, they are happy to enjoy their pension.

Fast-forward to today, and most employees are not sure of how long they will hold on to their current jobs. They have already changed jobs more than once, and they are ardent followers of Friday newspapers and Job Seekers’ Sites where they hope to find greener pastures. Their ears are always on the ground trying to find out whether there will be job cuts and retrenchments. Even the Government has joined the list of shaky employers.

If you were to lose your job today, how long would you sustain your current lifestyle? One month? Six months? Or would you move into a friend’s house immediately?

It is time to take charge of your Finances! As you focus on earning more, what are you doing with what you already have?
