make a plan for financial independence

...to understand my finances, to set up a ‘rainy day’ savings plan, to set up a retirement savings plan, to set up a secure investment strategy (maybe treasury bills), to afford health-care (perhaps my own health/life insurance savings).

And then there is my family’s financial security. In terms of prioritizing, I should start with understanding finances so that I can communicate what I know to my family members. That way, they can begin to think about their own financial plans and I can feel less responsible for their financial futures.
