The Scoop10 reasons you need a wealth plan
Articles about money may not always spark a lot of excitement. But the truth is, many people struggle with their personal finances, and creating a wealth plan could be just what you need to get back on track.
A wealth plan helps you manage, protect and grow your finances, and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Let’s talk more about what a wealth plan is, why you need one, and some easy steps you can take to get one started (even if budgets and spreadsheets usually make you queasy!)
What is a wealth plan?
To put it simply, a wealth plan is a map to help you reach your goals—not just financial goals, but life goals.
No matter where you’re at in life… a 20-something looking to find a career you love and buy your first home… a 40-something looking to become a leader in your field and give back to your community… or even a 50-something wanting to be sure you have enough to retire, travel, and leave a legacy for your family, a wealth plan provides a map to get you there.
A wealth plan can benefit anyone, no matter how much money you have (or don't have) or how old you are.
10 reasons you need a wealth plan
1– Identify your goals
A wealth plan helps you set clear goals and objectives. Through the process of setting and prioritizing goals, you can better understand what you want to achieve and how.
2– Clarify your financial reality
When you don’t have a wealth plan in place, opportunities fall through the cracks. A plan helps you know precisely where you stand so you can make informed decisions and smarter choices about how to move forward.
3– Get peace of mind
A plan provides a sense of control over your financial future. Knowing you’re on the right path for reaching your goals will reduce your stress about money, give you more confidence, and a more positive outlook for the future.
4– Prepare for emergencies
A wealth plan helps you build an emergency fund or safety net to use during unforeseen events such as medical emergencies, job loss, or natural disasters.
5– Manage debt
If you have outstanding debts, a financial plan helps you develop a strategy to effectively manage and reduce them. It helps you prioritize debt repayment, minimize interest payments, and ultimately become debt-free.
6– Plan for retirement
Planning for retirement is vital to ensure a comfortable and financially-secure future. A wealth plan helps you estimate the amount of money you'll need for retirement, create a savings plan, and choose appropriate retirement accounts and investments.
7– Optimize tax savings
A wealth plan helps you understand various tax-saving strategies, maximize deductions, and make smart financial decisions to minimize your tax liability.
8– Plan investments
Investing is important for building wealth. A wealth plan guides you in making informed investment decisions and optimizing your investment returns based on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial goals.
9– Repair credit
Careful planning and budgeting can help you avoid missing bill payments, catch-up on past-due accounts, and pay down balances. These behaviors all help you improve your credit and boost your overall financial health
10– Remain accountable
Not only will a wealth plan provide you with a clear list of to-dos, but when you work with a specialist, you’ll have someone on your side to help you follow the plan and stay accountable for actually getting things done.
