allows you to decide if those decision or all the purchases you make are really getting you toward your ultimate goal .
6 . Check your insurances- Insurance is the way that we make the potential disasters in our life , have less of a financial impact . What happens if you ’ re too sick ( Cancer ?!) or hurt to go to work ? What happens if you died unexpectedly ? Do people depend on you ? Alsoyes , it ’ s nice that your employer provides you some coverage ( if you ’ re lucky ) but most of the time it isn ’ t ENOUGH . If you don ’ t have the proper insurance then you need to make sure that your emergency savings is well stocked .
7 . Take advantage of your 401 ( k ) match- Contribute enough to get the full match . Then consider your other goals ( savings , insurances , debt repayment , etc ) then go back to your employer plan and contribute more .
8 . Enlist a professional , Seriously . Just as studies show that hiring a personal fitness trainer can be an effective method to change your attitude and increase your physical activity *, hiring a financial planner can be the motivating force you need . We design a plan , provide you with education to feel comfortable and secure in your decisions , direct you down the path to achieve your goals and hold you accountable for your actions ( or inaction !).
The more you gain control of your money , the more freedom you will have for yourself . Imagine a life where you can take a vacation without “ how am I going to pay this off ” lingering in the back of your mind ? Or confidently being able to say yes or no to a purchase without remorse . How about knowing exactly when you can retire and how much money you will have .
