RICHMOND, VANCOUVER BC– March 24, 2015 – Award-winning and inspiring business leader and financial services expert, PerminderChohan has posted a new blog on the Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network website entitled, “Starting a Career or a Family? Start Charting Your Course to Financial Security.” Mr. Chohan’s expertise in financial planning is well regarded in the Richmond business community. He has been a guiding light to many young families in the area.

According to Mr. Chohan, “There is no good reason to wait until you get a raise or a bonus. Establish sound financial practices immediately. Later in life, you’ll be so grateful that you did.”

He offers guidelines to help those seeking financial planning find the right match, stating, “Look for a company with a solid history and sterling reputation. It makes sense to work with a company that shares the life same principles you value and one that considers its clients like family members instead just another account.” Chohan advises imagining the future, “When you interview financial advisors”, he says, “think about whether they would be someone you can see yourself inviting to important life events.” He asks, “Would you imagine socializing with them at your children’s graduation and wedding? Can you envision them being a good friend, guiding you toward the products and services that will best meet your needs as your life unfolds?”

Mr. Chohan acknowledges that many young people start down career paths and family life all at the same time. In this case, he says“ If both life events occur simultaneously it is even more important to be diligent in your financial affairs.”
