BEING the first Filipino to win the Ms. World crown, Megan Young has license to
lead an ultra-glam life, but people will actually be surprised to know that she
is “matipid.” In fact, she and husband Mikael “Fofo” Daez has a finance system
in place where they have two bank accounts—one for expenses and one for savings.
“I plan it out with my husband kung ano yung gusto ko, trips I wanna go on,
K-pop merch na I wanna buy or new experiences na we both wanna try,” says Megan
in her latest Instagram video post about living a vibrant life. That means
sticking to the budget despite the “wants”. “If I know I can’t afford [the
designer bag], bakit ko bibilhin?”






Megan Young inspires everyone to live a happy, healthy, and vibrant life with
FWD Life Insurance.


For Megan, planning your finances is one way to stay happy, healthy and vibrant
because “you can enjoy and have peace of mind.” Why would you overcomplicate
your life with unnecessary spends that’s not part of the budget?
Aside from being matipid and taking care of your finances, the actress and TV
host on GMA’s The Best Ka! also included nutrition, exercise, self-care, and
relaxing via traveling in her tips to lead a vibrant life in her video
collaboration with FWD Life Insurance.


Megan Young puts great focus on living a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrition and physical fitness
While the rest of the world do no-carb diets, Megan considers a meal incomplete
without bread or rice and dessert! (Hallelujah!). For her, we should not be
depriving ourselves with the food we want to eat. “I love having carbs, carbs,
carbs! And also meat and dessert. We want to make sure we treat our bodies well.
We can eat 80% healthy food and 20 percent kung anong gusto nating kainin.”
Rather than focusing on diets, people should focus on creating a healthy
lifestyle. A diet puts her in a mindset that she needs to eat less, which should
not be the case. It all comes down to moderation. Plus, exercise. (The secret to
her smashing body, perhaps?)
That’s why even if she finds it hard—often second guessing herself like the rest
of us why she is even doing it—she always makes sure she works out.
Financial planning
When you want to experience more out of life, she says, plan accordingly. (For
additional health and financial tips, check out FWD’s blog). And she did not
mean just the luxuries and the “wants”.
Plans should also include the things that are important to you and your family
like your health and your future coz we can never really be sure of what can
happen. “Health protection...kailangan na ring i-budget ‘yan dahil mataas na rin
ngayon ang medical expenses so we make sure that we have insurance para less
worries.”
And it’s important that all bases are covered. A product like FWD Vibrant
Critical Illness Insurance does that, protecting you from wellness to treatment
to recovery. You’re covered from before you get a health problem up to when you
get diagnosed and all the way to your treatment and recovery.
Quite impressed, Megan enumerates every benefit you’ll get from it. “With FWD
Vibrant, you can get cash for health screening so that you can monitor your
health; you’ll also receive cash for medicines to support your recovery in case
you get sick; and for your peace of mind, you can claim up to 6x for major
critical illnesses; and on top of that, you get minor critical illness coverage
worth 25 percent of the benefit amount. So, you can focus more on your health
and celebrate living!”





Megan Young on why protecting your health and finances is key to living a happy,
healthy, and vibrant life.


Travel
While planning is very important, there are times when we just need to let go
and enjoy and appreciate life. As Megan advises: “Pause and take a breather!”
Taking trips abroad is when Megan gets to do this. This is the time when she and
her husband can just relax and go with the flow. In her trips for instance,
Megan likes to go to places that lets her get out of her comfort zone. There was
even a time when they just went on a trip in Japan with no prior plans beyond
the airport. After all, where they go and where they stay while abroad are not
half as important as how they enjoy it. “Enjoy your time with your family and
loved ones. Or even if you’re going solo, just pause and enjoy the view.”
But don’t get her wrong. For Megan, planning is essential and is the precursor
to living a vibrant life. Knowing you’re all covered—your health, finance, your
family’s needs—gives you the freedom to just enjoy and let go. “We save up and
take care of our health para ma-enjoy talaga namin these things. To do that, we
always make sure that we work out and take care of our finances.”
How about you? What are your secrets? Here’s a tip: start doing it! In the words
of Megan, “we all deserve to be happy, healthy, and vibrant!”

with an FWD financial advisor to know more about FWD Vibrant and start planning
for your health and finances. (PR)
