BY Juma · January 25, 2024 11:01 am

Looks like January came to stay and it means business. Can you imagine next week will still be January? Looks like the month officially kicked on on January 20 and it is moving at its sweet pace. How are things on your end? Eating chicken or eating like chicken? 😁

But let us face it. January has a habit of being long when your pockets are yawning. You rarely see those whose pockets have never known emptiness complaining. Of course, there are those with money who join in the complaining to stop you from borrowing some “urgent money”.

But did you know that your January might be long just because of what we call financial planning? Well, I am not saying you do not know how to plan but I am saying you might have planned for December and underestimated January and perhaps that is why January is furious.

Anyway, what is Financial Planning? 

Financial planning is the process of taking a comprehensive look at your financial situation and building a specific financial plan to reach your goals.

As a result, financial planning often delves into multiple areas of finance, including investing, taxes, savings, retirement, your estate, insurance, and more.

In a simple language, Financial Planning is simply “Kujipanga.” Nothing beyond that. It is Kujipanga when it comes to your finances.

Do you remember when you went home for Christmas and you were more popular than the area assistant chief because everyone who was calling you great names like Chief, Mwene Mutapa, Kiongozi, Governor, Papa wa Roma, etc went out with their pockets full? Look at you now…

Tonight, Soko Directory Investments Limited, in partnership with Timiza, Absa Bank Kenya’s Mobile Banking wallet that lets you save, and take loans, among others, have an X-Space, a fire-side chat on Financial Planning 101 and how you should embrace the remaining days and months.
