Why a Financial Plan Is Important
I’m HOST, and welcome to Asking For a Friend, where we’re ready to help answer the financial questions you, er, your friends, are too uncertain to ask.
Dear Asking for a Friend,
My friend doesn't know if she will have enough money to live a comfortable life when she retires – how can she know if she has enough, and how can she be sure she'll be okay going into retirement and onwards?
Planning Petra
That is a pressing question on the minds of many, Petra. Based on a recent Financial Planning Standards Board survey, many people don’t feel super-confident about their future.
Super: Just 21% of Canadians have strong confidence that they will achieve their financial life goals.
Just 21% of Canadians have strong confidence that they will achieve their financial life goals. A lot of people wonder "What do I need to retire?"
And since most of us don’t have a time machine — (under their breath) that works — to see how it all pans out, a solid plan can help us feel more confident about the future.
When it comes to managing your money and planning for your future, it can feel overwhelming and confusing because of the amount of information available and the jargon that's used.
Super: Speak to a TD Wealth Financial Planner.
You may need someone to help you develop a financial plan to determine what enough looks like. I would tell your "friend" to consider speaking to a financial planner. Like the fine folks at TD Wealth.
Super: Set your financial goals.
They can help you set your financial goals. Really think about what you’re planning for; is it a bigger or second home? A child’s tuition? Your retirement? Whatever your priorities are, your Financial Planner can ask the right questions to help you plan for all of life's moments — big and small.
Super: Create a plan that grows and evolves with you.
Your goals may change over time. And that’s ok. Working with a financial planner can help you create a plan that can balance your life needs today with your financial goals of tomorrow. And remember, this is your future. Speak to a TD Wealth Financial Planner and get started on your next, or first, step.
