109 PRS Youth Incentive still available

PRS Youth Incentive still available	私人退休金青年奖掖
This article appeared in Nan Yang Siang Pau last month. It says government's allocation for PRS Youth Incentive only used up 8% of its total allocation. This means there are still a lot of money for youths to claim. This also means lots of youth still do not know about PRS Youth Incentive.	这是上个月刊登在南洋商报的文章。文章说政府为私人退休金预备的青年奖掖仅仅发出了总数的8%。这说明还有很多钱等着青年人去索取。亦说明许多青年人仍不晓得私人退休金青年奖掖。
Immediately upon reading the news, I snap the news and forwarded to my clients regardless of their age. The older one may have kids or relative who might be in the age that qualifies for the incentive.	我一读完文章，就赶紧拍下传给顾客们，也不管他们的年龄。比较年长的顾客可能会有孩子或亲戚符合资格。
PPA is aggressively promoting proper retirement fund planning through extra savings in PRS. Normally, we do not have idea of how much to save. According to PPA suggestion, just another 10% savings will do a lot of difference.	PPA正积极的推动人民额外储蓄在私人退休金以便更好地准备退休金。一般上，我们可能不晓得该存多少钱。根据PPA的建议，多存10%就有很大的不同。
Let's understand that we already have 23%~24% savings through EPF. Meaning we need to fork out 10% from our pocket money. That's all. The newspaper also point out the difference with or without the extra 10%.	我们明白通过公积金，我们已经储蓄了23%至24%。那我们只需要从口袋多存10%就可以了。文章也指出有无10%的差别。
In the illustration, it is RM690K vs RM1.1Mil. So, it's RM400K difference with that extra 10% savings. I think RM400K is a substantial amount. It is remarkable an extra RM320 a month can do such wonders.	根据例子，差别是69万对110万。所以是40万的差别。我觉得40万是蛮大的数目。而每月多320元就可以创造这笔数目真是厉害。
Let's all seriously think about saving that extra 10%.	让我们认真想想多存10%吧。

107 PRS Youth Scheme allocation still availabel

Calling all youngsters - PRS Yooth Scheme is waiting for you...	年轻人啊 私人退休金计划青年人奖励正等着你
Below article was an exclusive interview of PPA by Nan Yang Siang Pau appeared on 16/5/2016. It says about Government's allocation for PRS Youth Scheme received lukewarm response. It is opened from 2014 ~ 2018. Almost half way through, but the fund has only disbursed 8% of its total.	以下这篇PPA的专访刊登在16/5/2016的南洋商报。报道说政府为私人退休金计划青年人奖励反应不好。这个奖励从2014年开放至2018年。如今已经走了将近一半，但是派出的数目仅是总数的8%，还不到一成。
-
This incentive is opened for all youth aged between 20 and 30 (both age included). What they have to do is just to invest RM1000, within a calendar year, into any PRS fund, and the Government will reward them with RM500.	这个奖励是给予年龄介于20至30岁的青年人。他们只需要在一年内投资1千元，政府就会奖赏5百元。
Many of my friends are interested in it BUT they are, sadly, over-aged. Youngsters, why aren't you going for it? RM500 for RM1000 investment represents a 50% returns guaranteed.	我的朋友当中有好些也想得到，可是可惜的，超龄了。年轻人啊，为什么你们不要呢？买1钱得5百可是整整50%的保证回酬啊！
Parents, why don't you invest for your child, perhaps as a gift for their future? I strongly believe a gift will be well remembered. One day your children will tell their children this is a gift from their grandparents.	父母啊，为何您不为孩子们投资呢？就当作是他们的礼物。我始终相信人人会纪念别人送的礼物。有一天，你的孩子们会跟他们的孩子们说这是他们的祖父母们留下的礼物。
The money in PRS will be invested by respective fund house and is only withdrawable upon retirement age - currently 55. So, if the money is being left there for 20 years, grow at 8% per annum, it will grow to RM6990.	私人退休金里的钱会由个别基金公司管理，并且只有在退休年龄（目前55岁）后才可以领出。意思是说，如果该笔钱留在那里20年而每年以8%成长的话，它将增值到RM6990。
Furthermore, investment in PRS entitles you to claim extra RM3000 (maximum) tax relief. If you continue subscribing, in order to enjoy the tax relief, your future withdrawable value will be much much higher.	再加上私人退休基金的投资可让你额外扣税最高3千元。如果你为了这项益处继续投资的话，将来的数目更高啦。
I believe PRS, like EPF, is the best tax relief item. To me for all other tax relief items, money spent is money spent. For PRS, money saved is money earned.	我认为私人退休金是仅次于公积金的最好的扣税项目。对我而言，其他的扣税项目，钱花了就是花了。但私人退休金呢，钱存了就是赚了。这 好像李嘉诚说的吧？
Folks, make up your mind today. Kick start your retirement savings now. Do it while government's allocation is still available. Be rewarded for investing.	大伙儿们啊，现在就下定决心吧。现在就开始你的退休储蓄。何不乘着政府的拨款充足，快快行动。投资还有奖励啊，多好？

105 Convert cash into cash flow - endowment plans & annuity scheme

Convert cash into cash flow - endowment plans & annuity scheme	把现金换成现金流-储蓄保险计划、年金计划
I always get asked about endowment plans. Normally the person who asked are confused because he was told the returns to be very high. After all, they are selling like hot cake especially during uncertain market condition.	我常常被问到关于储蓄保险计划。通常问的人都是因为听说回酬非常高而感到困惑。这类产品的确是销量俊俏，尤其是股市不好的时候。
I always view endowment plans as a great product to convert cash into much needed cash flow, with some decent rate of return. Another similar product is annuity scheme.	对我而言储蓄保险计划确实把现金转换成现金流的好工具。当然也提供一些些的回酬。另外一个相似的工具就是年金计划。
Since they are all insurance products, purchasers need to understand the payment period, and never miss it. Next is he has to justify his need to take up such products.	这两者皆是保险产品，因此买家必须明了付款期限，不能不还。他也必须了解他是否需要这类产品。
Cash flow is important	现金流很重要
Poor cash flow is miserable. Interestingly, this can happen to both the low income as well as the cash rich.	差劲的现金流会很恼人的。有趣的是，不管高低收入人士都有可能陷入现金流难题里边。
For the poor, one the bills are coming in on time while the income is always late, the anxiety is imaginable. Impulsive or unplanned spending could be the culprit. So, instead of spending, try channeling some money into annuity scheme to provide guarantee income during retirement.	相对贫穷的人面对“账单总是准时，收入总是迟迟”，焦虑自是不带而言的。罪魁祸首可能是冲动式消费或无预算式消费。所以与其消费，不妨把现金转入年金计划来使到退休时有固定收入吧。
Stocking too much cash in low yielding instruments, like in FD etc, can also make someone poor. He may not dare to use the money because he will worry the money will outlast him. Placing his money in some instrument that guarantees a future payment helps.	存放太多现金于低收益工具如定期存款也会让人变得贫穷。这使到拥有着不敢使用金钱因为恐怕金钱会无以为继。把金钱放入某些保证收入的工具将有所助益。
So, the poor and the rich could face similar problems. Releasing cash to generate cash flow is something like buying a house to collect rental income. Cash in FD is nice to see. Regular rental income will let one better plan his life and spending.	或富或穷都会面对同样问题。分配部分金钱来促进现金流就如买了屋子收租一样。定期存款开起来很爽，但稳定租金收入让人更好规划人生以及花费，不是吗？
But buying a house requires some skills and capital. Strategic locations that can fetch good rental could be selling at a premium price now. Thus the rental yield may not look so attractive.	话虽如此，买楼终究需要一些技巧及资金。策略性地点确是可以收到更好的租金但房价可能处于高位。租金收益率就变得不是很高了。
Financial products such as endowment plans and annuity scheme can serve as alternatives. Most of them gives annual guaranteed payment, some monthly.	储蓄保险计划以及年金计划这类的保险产品就成了替代产品。它们多有提供保证式固定年度派款，有些甚至于是每月派款。
Free of choices	选择多元化
Financial planning firm, like Phillip Wealth Planners, worked with many local and offshore insurance companies to provide such products.	理财公司如Phillip Wealth Planners与多家本地以及离岸保险公司提供这类产品。
Once we understand clients' needs, we will look for the products that can match. We can provide in different currencies, premium payment years, annuity payment term and amount etc.	当我们了解顾客的需要后，我们才来寻找适合的产品来匹配。我们可以匹配不同货币，不同付款期限，不同派款期限与款额等等等。
Now one might not only depends on local currency to retire. Their children could be living in Australia or US or UK. Having some cash flow in USD / EUR will certainly be helpful.	一位顾客可能不仅靠本国货币来退休。他们的子女可能住在澳洲、美国或英国。拥有当国货币将会挺管用的。
In terms of premium payment term, it can be 5, 6, 10, 15 years or even a lump sum payment. Payout can start as soon as a year later or 5, 10 years later.	付款期限可以是五、六、10或15年.甚至于单笔付款。派款期限可以是下一年或5年、10年后。
