Currently, the world is in a state of panic not witnessed since 2003. Back then, a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) infected over 8000 people, caused the death of 774 citizens from 17 countries and went down in human history as “the crimson death”.

The older you get, the more you think about your financial future. Of course, many people start planning their financial future while they’re still young, but the majority prefer to spend their hard earned money on gadgets, exotic trips, concert tickets, lattes, craft beer, clothes and whatever else they fancy.
However, there comes a point in time when people realise they won’t be young forever and start wondering how they would be able to afford all those nice things when they retire. And in the interim, there are also children and college funds to worry about as well.
