Everybody talks about wanting a time machine and if you ask people which direction they would like to go – to the past or to the future – most people say ‘THE FUTURE’. Ask the people around you in your home or office right now, and let us know the replies you get in the comments. Are we right or wrong?
The question is, why is there such an obsession with knowing what happens in the future? Are people just trying to be show-offs who can come back to our time and brag about the fancy new things they have seen?
The robot servants. The three square meals in one pill. Flying cars. Of course, for the Lagosians, the traffic will still follow them to the sky because ‘bumper to bumper’ is the official Lagos coat of arms. Or should we say ‘wing to wing’?
Seeing these exciting things is definitely a big part of the appeal of looking into the future but the main reason is very simple. Uncertainty.
Many people are going through tough economic situations today and would like to know how long they will keep living this life. Would it last forever or will there be a big miracle in 5 years from now that would change everything? Others are doing quite well and want to make sure that their fortunes remain the same or become even better. No matter how rich you become, you can’t for sure predict where that wealth will be in 20 years’ time.
While it is not possible to see ahead, it is definitely wise to do everything possible today to make sure there is some security for your future. People talk a lot about saving for a rainy day and this is very important but is it enough? When you depend only on savings for your future needs, your money is waiting for you to come and use it when you are ready. It is not out there hustling to make you more money.
To get your money to work for you, you need to have different types of investment in your financial portfolio. And when it comes to specifically insure your future, a pension account is the most important part of that portfolio.
Your pension is not something to worry about later, to start when you are 40. Your pension account should be an active future-focused investment that grows as you grow your career or business.
It is not about tomorrow, it is about today.
And that’s exactly how Premium Pension thinks about pensions. To live that premium life we all want to buy time machines to peek at, we all need to start investing in our pensions accounts today. Premium Pension wants to make this as easy as possible for young people to make a priority.
If you thought that pensions were all brick and mortar transactions and tailored for people who have the time to schedule weekly 2-hour meetings with their account officers. Think again. With Premium Pension, you can get everything done with an app. From exploring offerings as a non-member to signing up and becoming a member with a payment schedule. There is no need to go into a branch to get your account up, investing and keeping you updated. There is even a referral rewards program for those of us that like to enjoy with our friends.
This 100% applies to the entrepreneurs, freelancers and ‘Insta-moguls’ amongst us. With a micro-pension account from Premium Pension, people who work for themselves can now start to build their own pension accounts on their own terms and they even get access to up to 40% of their total balance at any time for that sudden business expansion plan that needs the extra cash. And with Premium Pension’s expertise in investing its members’ money with one of the highest rates of return in the pension industry, you can be sure that 40% would include a nice chunk of interest from all the extra money your money’s been making for you on the daily.
Take a look at what your future could hold for you when you download the Premium Pension app and use the pension calculator to start planning just how much you need to do all the gardening or skydiving you are planning for your golden years.
