People often ask me the question "Why do we need financial planning?". The answer is simple. The reason is that because financial planning is considered our life plan,our blueprint in life to reach our financial goals. One of the wrong connotations with financial planning is that people often think that financial planning is all about investing your money and buying life insurance products but those are just part of the whole process of Financial Planning. I can't blame them because most financial planners are employed or connected to an Investment or Insurance company thereby promoting their products to their clients but financial planning is a very broad subject. Financial Planning includes not only investments and insurance but also planning for your expenses. Not only the major expenses but the basic ones as well, including your expenses for your hobbies and luxuries. It also involves tax planning and estate planning. Things which are not very much known subjects of Financial Planning. Financial Planning is like budgeting in a bigger scale. Budgeting not only for a month's expenses but for your whole life. Its an imperative task for each one of us to plan for our financial life. The best way to do this is to seek out the help of Financial Planners preferably the recognized ones or to do it yourself. Do not worry about the cost in consulting a financial planner because believe me in the long run you will realize that you made one of the best decisions in your life IF you will just follow your Financial Planners' advice. You can also do this yourself, how? by educating yourself and attending seminars. A lot of companies are already offering seminars on financial planning. Some are even free. You can email me at justinrichmonddy@yahoo.com if you want to know companies who are offering these seminars for FREE or if you want to consult me with your questions.
