7. Taxes and income
Understanding Taxes
The government is responsible for facilitating and providing welfare to the citizens of the country by offering public services such as roads, public transportation, water systems, and electricity, collectively known as basic infrastructure. These services require high investment costs, and the private sector is often reluctant to invest because it may not be financially viable. Therefore, the government must find funds to invest on its own by collecting from those who directly benefit, which are the citizens. Taxes are thus similar to communal fees that citizens must pay. In other words, paying taxes is a duty of all citizens in the country to receive these public services from the government. The amount of tax each person pays depends on their income, spending, and assets. Taxes are divided into two types:
-
Direct Taxes: These are taxes collected from the income and assets of individuals or entities. They generally cannot be transferred to others. Examples include inheritance tax, local maintenance tax, and personal/corporate income tax.
-
Indirect Taxes: These are taxes collected from consumers when goods and services are sold. The tax burden can be fully or partially passed on to the buyer or consumer, who then pays the tax on behalf of the seller. Examples include value-added tax (VAT) and excise tax.

The Importance of Retirement Planning
To live a happy life after retirement, you need to have enough money to cover necessary expenses and enjoy some small pleasures without being a burden on your children.
Unfortunately, many people still mistakenly believe that preparing for retirement is only for older individuals close to retirement. In reality, a comfortable retirement requires long-term planning from the very beginning of your career. Planning close to retirement is not only more challenging and stressful than preparing early on, but it may also be too late.
