Financial planning is about more than just money. It’s about more than just skipping the latte and foregoing avocado toast for the rest of your natural born life. Financial planning is a means to an end, and that end is financial freedom.
Most people aren’t thinking about financial freedom when they work on their first budget. They are thinking about how much money they can safely spend on groceries while still making rent. Later in life they are thinking about how much they can afford to put away for retirement and whether it will be enough, but still most people don’t even know how their retirement savings are allocated.
Making a financial plan and setting financial goals is an ongoing process toward living your best life. Being able to afford both rent and groceries is a great start, but eventually you will be able to do more than that with your money, such as change careers, go back to school, or pay for your kids’ college.
The time to start setting goals and planning for your future is now. Learn more about how financial planning can help you life a better life and how to get started below.
