How good health contributes to your wealth

If you were to pick up any book on financial planning, most will convey to you the importance of maintaining good health in your golden years, so that you are able to enjoy your retirement to the fullest. I couldn’t agree more with that. However, in my opinion, the relationship of good health and effective financial planning begins long before retirement, when we are still in our student years.

IN OUR Malaysian culture, we frequently hear the saying “health is wealth” being bandied about, to the point we turn a deaf ear to it. But have you ever stopped to ponder what the saying truly means? Does good health really equal to good wealth?

With 2021 just starting, I think this is a timely topic to visit as we start making plans for the year.
