Features: This book takes the different life stages of a person as its axis, showcasing the living costs from infancy to old age, thereby highlighting the close relationship between financial planning and major life events. From daily financial planning to insurance and home purchase planning; from children's education to marriage and retirement planning; from entrepreneurship and investment planning to tax and inheritance planning, it reveals the seemingly simple yet profound principles of financial management. It tells you what kind of insurance expectant mothers should buy, where to allocate education expenses, how much the costs of dating and wedding are, how to manage retirement life, and how young people and those aged 30 to 50 should plan their lives. How much money is needed in a lifetime is a question everyone faces. Financial planning is meant to help people calculate this accurately, allowing them to prepare early on. "A Lifetime of Financial Planning" offers different financial advice for families with varying income levels. The book is divided into four parts. The first three parts combine common concerns of the public—such as child-rearing, marriage, and retirement—to provide detailed cost calculations, helping readers understand how much money is needed at different life stages. The fourth part provides corresponding financial plans based on age. The numerous case studies in the book are derived from interviews conducted by reporters of "Financial Weekly," making them highly valuable for reference. As Sun Tzu said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles." The same applies to financial planning. I believe that readers who read this book will surely find cases similar to their own, gaining some inspiration from them. Financial planning is a lifelong endeavor, and I hope this book can give you a good start in your financial planning journey.
