Anyway i realised that many of my clients and friends are not aware that CPF website actually has a new financial section known as: IM$avvy financial portal. Hence i thought of using this opportunity to create more awareness for them.

Have you heard of MoneySENSE? It is a national financial education programme launched by Mr Lee Hsien Loong, then Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the MAS on 16 Oct 2003.  MoneySENSE brings together industry and public sector initiatives to enhance the basic financial literacy of consumers.

The MoneySENSE programme covers 3 tiers of financial literacy:

• Tier I - Basic Money Management - which covers skills in budgeting and saving, and provides tips on the responsible use of credit;
• Tier II - Financial Planning - to equip Singaporeans with the skills and knowledge to plan for their long-term financial needs; and
• Tier III - Investment Know-How - which imparts knowledge about the different investment products and skills for investing

The IM$avvy financial portal is managed by Central Provident Fund Board supported by MoneySense.  This website aims to promote and educate members of public in financial literary. IM$avvy contains many interactive things such as forum, videos etc. One of the latest update is the addition of $avvy Blog Corner.

As a financial consultant, I have been asked to contribute my articles on the CPF Board’s IM$avvy website. Ever since i met up with CPF Board committee, i have started to contribute on their website: www.imsavvy.sg

So if you have not visited their website, do it now! It only takes you one minute to click and you realise there are so many things that you can gain from there =)

Happy reading!

Cheers =)
