Introduction
A couple working diligently for a multinational corporation. While their earnings were substantial, their financial roadmap was anything but clear. This dynamic duo faced significant challenges: a lack of tax planning knowledge, minimal understanding of financial planning, substantial savings parked in a standard savings account equal to their annual income, a dearth of insurance coverage, and ambitious goals of homeownership and expanding their family.

- Major Life Milestones:
The couple aspired to buy a house and expand their family, but their financial situation was far from conducive to these life-changing events.
