Best Practices When Approaching Financial Planning

 

  • Set measurable goals.
  • Understand the effect your financial decisions have on other financial issues.
  • Re-evaluate your financial plan periodically.
  • Start now – don’t assume financial planning is for when you get older.
  • Start with what you’ve got – don’t assume financial planning is only for the wealthy.
  • Take charge – you are in control of the financial planning engagement.
  • Look at the big picture – financial planning is more than just retirement planning or tax planning.
  • Don’t confuse financial planning with investing.
  • Don’t expect unrealistic returns on investments.
  • Don’t wait until a money crisis to begin financial planning.
