Financial Planning helps you achieve peace of mind
Financial planning is all about creating unique goals and solutions for you and your life. Whether you’ve already saved your first million on your own, have come into some money, or starting a new family, it’s never too early or too late to find the right financial advisor.
Think of an advisor as a trusted guide who provides personalized solutions for reaching your life goals. The right advisor is a partner on your financial journey through career changes, buying a home, divorce, retirement planning, and whatever other life events you might be going through.
Planning with an Expert Offers Peace of Mind and Tangible Benefits
Working with a financial advisor improves financial habits, builds confidence, and provides peace of mind for investors. If any of the questions below sound familiar, it’s a great time to find answers from a financial planner!
Aside from the psychological benefits, there are proven monetary benefits, Individuals with financial plans accumulated nearly 250% more in retirement savings than those without a financial plan in place. In addition, nearly 44% of those who have a financial plan in place save more money each year toward retirement.
The challenge of finding a good certified financial planner is real. There are many unscrupulous salespeople out there selling themselves as trustworthy advisors. As a result, few Americans can say they have a high level of trust for financial professionals. In fact, a CFP Board survey of Americans’ perceptions of financial advisors showed that 60% of people feel advisors put their companies’ interests first. Far too often, clients are steered towards financial products that provide kickbacks to the advisors who recommend them.
