What I Learned About Financial Planning at Max Foresight

My internship at Max Foresight

Throughout the past two weeks I have undertaken an internship at Max Foresight. I’ve met and engaged with many types of clients but the fundamentals have always been the same.

I used to think that financial planning was something that you needed to do once you start making a lot of money, but I realise that building good habits no matter the amount makes the difference. One concept that truly shifted my mindset is cash flow planning. It’s more than just tracking income and expenses- it’s about intentionally directing where your money goes to align with your short- and long-term goals. It helps you build emergency funds and set aside money for investing. Most importantly, it lays the foundation for financial freedom- the ability to make life decisions without being constrained by money. Whether it’s taking a career risk, travelling the world, or retiring early, these goals are only realistic with proper planning.

Another major influence on my journey has been shadowing and mentorship. Being able to learn directly from experienced professionals and financially disciplined individuals has been eye-opening. It’s not just about learning strategies. It’s about adopting a mindset of discipline, patience, and long-term thinking.  Through mentoring, I’ve learned that good financial habits are built over time and that confidence comes from clarity- knowing where you stand and where you’re headed.

For me, financial freedom means having the flexibility to take smart risks, whether it’s about starting a business, moving to a new country, or simply living without money on your mind. It’s about building a future that reflects what matters most to me. Ultimately, the small choices I

make today are what pave toward a life that feels secure and meaningful.
