fit and healthy
If you’ve resolved to count calories…track reps…and time your laps—you may want to add another resolution to the list—tracking your financial health. This is your year to not only become physically fit…but fiscally fit as well.
The best way to accomplish your goal is to take a 360º view of your financial picture. Consider your current situation, your dreams, and what keeps you up at night. Have any major milestones up ahead? These could include a child going off to college, planning a wedding, taking a vacation, or planning your retirement. You also want to ensure that your legacy reaches those you care about most.
If so, it sounds like you need a personal trainer — a financial planner — to set up the exercises and encourage you every step of the way as you work through questions like:
- Do you have a current investment plan?
- Is all your documentation signed and in a secure location?
- Is your insurance adequate for your current lifestyle, business structure, and home situation?
Tip: Don’t hold off starting the process because you’re not organized enough or you don’t think you have enough money yet. The longer you put it off, the longer you will put off reaching your goals, and if too much time goes by, your dreams might slip by as well.
Sure, like any new program, fitness or fiscal, there may be some hard work and sweat along the way. But when you realize all the resources you’ve found to truly make a difference in your financial future, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. This year is your year to be fiscally fit. Start today!
