Personal Financial Planning - The Need For Financial Planning

Building a successful financial plan can be confusing. As we construct a plan, we find that our financial lives have many scattered pieces.

The Pieces of the Puzzle

Some of the financial issues that each of us can expect to face during life include:

• Cash Management: More than just balancing the checkbook, cash management includes preparing (and following) a budget, using credit wisely, and keeping the income tax burden to the lowest level possible.
• Risk Management: There is risk of loss of both life and property. Life insurance can be used to protect a family against the risk of premature death. Disability insurance can protect against the loss of a person’s ability to earn a living. Property and casualty insurance can protect our worldly goods against accident and such perils as fire, flood, earthquake and theft. Health insurance can help pay the cost of needed medical care. 
• Accumulation Goals: We all need to save money for some reason. Educating our children is one very common goal. Buying a home and building an investment portfolio are two other typical accumulation goals. 
• Retirement Planning: Taking action today to insure that the later years are as comfortable and worry-free as possible. 
• Estate Planning: Recognizing that death is inevitable and planning for the ultimate transfer of our assets to our heirs.
