  • Having a financial plan helps allocate income towards important financial goals

Importance of Financial Planning

  • Everyone needs a financial plan to establish, track, and achieve financial and personal goals
  • A financial plan helps allocate income towards important goals, both current and future

Stages of the Financial Life Cycle

Stage 2: Approaching Retirement

  • Focuses on final efforts to accomplish retirement plans and create wealth
  • Characterized by reviewing insurance protection and estate plans
