The Financial Planning Process–What is Your Plan?

Financial planning is the process of working out ways to make more money and to effectively allocate the money you’ve already made so that you increase your net worth. Ultimately, it is the amount of a family’s net worth that will determine what kind of lifestyle you will have and if you’ll be able to afford the financial wherewithal to achieve your goals.

What is your plan? Did you know that the government has a plan on how to tax away your wealth over the several years while your alive and upon your death? Much of the income you produce this year and for the rest of your life and much of the stuff you accumulated will go to the government unless you have and implement your own plan.

Those without a plan will make mistakes with investments, pay unnecessary taxes, have little to no asset protection, and be spending more than they make. Without a plan, goals are not clarified and articulated. Without a plan, we haven’t stated where we are going so there is no way we can know what to do to get there. It’s just that simple.

However, with a plan, we can state our goals with clarity and get a good sense of the ways things ought to be at some point in the future. Then, we can look at where we are today and readily see what needs to be done to bring us closer to the way things should be. This is planning. It is done BEFORE we start investing, insuring, setting up legal structures, borrowing money and so forth. Doing these things without a plan only wastes money.
