Financial planning is not the activity of choice for most individuals. If each
of us had our way, the various pieces of our financial lives would magically
fall into place. All of our financial needs would be met effortlessly without
having to devote even a minute to planning.

Unfortunately, life does not work that way. Making sense requires time
and effort. Individuals have different - and sometimes conflicting - financial
goals. Deciding how to meet those goals requires planning. Higher
earnings levels, increased wealth, shifting tax laws, and the sheer number
of financial products available, contribute to the need for financial planning.

Financial planning involves several significant steps, all coordinated.

The steps are:

  • Knowing where you are today (Evaluating Your Current Situation)
  • Deciding where you want to be sometime in the future (Setting Your
    Goals)
  • Setting out a plan to get there and putting it into effect (Putting
    Your Plan Together)
  • Implementing and coordinating the whole process (Putting Your
    Plan into Action)
  • Reviewing the plan regularly to see that it continues to meet your
    needs (Monitoring Your Plan)

At different stages of life financial needs and goals change. As one goal is
achieved, another takes its place. Consequently, most financial planners
review plans annually - or after any change in circumstances.

Choosing a financial planner is one of the most important decisions you
make for yourself and your loved ones. Financial planners provide you and
your family with guidance over a lifetime, or work to resolve a specific need
or dilemma.

Your planner must be qualified. The CFP® (Certified Financial Planner)
goes a long way toward assuring competence.
