Financial Planning
The Financial Planning process builds a road map that defines the direction in which you want your life to proceed. A Financial Plan will help you navigate through life stages such as employment, marriage, home ownership, parenting, eldercare, divorce, retirement and ultimately death—and all the stops in between. Financial Planning identifies and prioritizes actions that help achieve and implement your dreams, goals and aspirations.
Major Areas of Financial Planning Include:
- Creating a Net Worth Statement
- Budgeting Income, Expenses and Savings
- Risk Management
- Retirement Planning
- Estate Planning
- Education Planning and Funding
