Module 04: Life Planning
Module Overview
About this module
Life Planning is for any woman in Sri Lanka who wants to be ready for the turns life takes, a career break, a child, or an illness, before they arrive rather than in the middle of them. No finance background is needed. In a few short sittings you will learn how financial planning for a career break actually works, how to turn a large future cost like a child’s education into a steady monthly plan, and how to tell which kinds of insurance your situation really calls for.
This is the last of the four HerWEALTH modules, and it draws the earlier three together. Everything here is free, self-paced, and education, not advice. You walk away with three written plans you can keep, one for each chapter, and a clear sense of what to fund first.
Course content

Costing a break before it arrives, so you save for it by choice rather than in a crisis, and keep your protection and investments alive while income pauses.
Saving for Children
Turning a large future cost, like an education, into a steady monthly plan you can actually hold to, and starting the fund early so time does the heavy lifting.
