Today we are going to discuss briefly why financial planning is so important. First of all, you can do your own financial planning even though most people seek the help of a good financial planner or financial advisor. A financial planner can examine your financial situation while having your short term and long term goals in mind and help you come up with a plan (a financial plan) that outlines how you can reach your financial goals.

If you go to a financial advisor, he or she might be able to help you but a financial advisor does not usually come up with the financial plan himself/herself. Besides, there might also be a conflict of interest because a financial advisor has investments to sell whereas a financial planner usually do not sell investments or you can choose one that is independent of investment firms.

It is important to differentiate your long term goals and short term goals as well as examine where you current are financially. Without a financial plan, you will be lost and wouldn’t know where to start to achieve your goals and if you did know then it is still hard to keep track of what you are trying to achieve and what you have already achieved. Everything you do financially should be part of a big plan.

Any thoughts?
