Whether you&#8217;re saving for a rainy day, a down payment on a home, or retirement, it&#8217;s essential to build a solid savings plan. Unfortunately, many people struggle to save money. To help students understand more about financial planning and retirement savings, the SEGi School of Nursing organised an event featuring a representative from the EPF department.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the event, the representative from EPF department highlighted the importance of setting a savings goal as the first step in saving money. The savings goal should be specific, measurable, achievable, and relevant to help individuals stay motivated and focused on their financial goals<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">EPF officers advised the students to start saving for their retirement plan by opening an account and setting aside a portion of their income. This initial savings could compound over time, resulting in significant savings at retirement age.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">According to a survey conducted by Bankrate in 2020, only 28% of Americans have emergency savings to cover three months&#8217; expenses. This highlights the need for financial planning and savings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">SEGi School of Nursing&#8217;s event provided students with the tools and information needed to develop a solid financial plan, including retirement savings.
