Is one of your goals in the new year to make your money and investments work harder for you? If you want to create more opportunities for your future and gain control of your finances, a lifestyle financial plan can help you. But how do you start one?
This does not constitute advice and advice should be sought in all instances before acting on it.
No time like the present
If you’ve been putting off planning for your future, there’s never been a better time than now. And the best place to start? The beginning of course.
Ask yourself:
- Why you’re considering creating a plan?
- What goals are you trying to achieve?
- How long are you giving yourself to meet these goals?
A good plan will make all the difference. If you currently have a plan, look at where you are in the steps you already set out to meet. Is your life any different or will a better lifestyle plan help you meet your goals sooner?
If you think creating a system to manage your finances and meet future goals will be helpful, what are you waiting for? But make sure you’re as prepared as possible before jumping into planning mode.
Plan for success
Once you know the answers to all these questions, then you’ll be able to understand what you want from your plan. Knowing what you want and why you want it will help you plan the steps to meet your goals.
It’s always best to have a physical reminder of your goals, so write them down – on paper or electronically – and use whatever method works best for you to keep your goals fresh in your mind to help you attain them.
A successful financial lifestyle plan will help you get organised for anything – from planning to purchase a property or enjoy holidays to saving for your children or ensuring you maintain your lifestyle in retirement.
Consider new ideas and put in the hard work
You might discover new avenues to explore or goals you want to achieve by brainstorming and planning.
Planning your finances may take up some of your time, but the benefits are well worth the effort. We highly recommend working with a financial adviser to do this because taking a proactive approach will help you get and stay on track. Plus, you’ll be rewarded when you see your plan come together over time.
