Managing money is not the easiest thing to do. Trust me when I say this because as much as I want to save money, I sometimes end up losing it all - well, because of poor money management skills. 

So, here's what I realized - money management should not be boring and it definitely isn't rocket science. All you need to do is be committed to managing it and diligent in learning how to. 

If you fall under the same category as me, I thought I'd share a few excerpts from this webinar that I recently attended. The webinar was conducted by MensXP Experience to explain the basics of financial planning. 

Conducted by known panelists who have experience and background in the field, this session taught me a lot of things about growing my money. And well, some of the questions by the people on it also answered some of my unanswered questions. 

One of my key takeaways from the session was something that my mother has been doing for a long time, which is investing in gold. She has been telling me how important it is to be doing that since it is an appreciating asset at every given time.

This session was conducted by the following panellists for one and a half hours.

1. Rajesh Kothari, Founder, and CIO - AlfAccurate Advisors

2. Divya Gujral, Partner, Rohit Sethi, and Associates

3. Henna Nagpal, Managing partner, Altamount Select

4. Prakash Diwan, Head, Crossborder Investments Altamount Capital UK Ltd.

The webinar was divided into four sessions - direct equities, taxation, general financial planning, and overseas investments. 

Sounds complex? Don't worry, they break it down well enough for us to grasp the basics of good financial planning. You too can join in on the next Finacial Planning Seminar by MensXP Experiences to tackle what we millennials call our urban-poor lifestyle.
