Financial Planning Services – Franklin Park, IL

The most typical misunderstanding about financial planning is that it is centered on investing. Of course investing is a part of financial planning as you should make wise investment decisions, but there is so much more to it. Financial Planning is the process of developing strategies to help you take care of your financial affairs efficiently and meet financial targets. It is a holistic method that helps you make better decisions by turning vague objectives into concrete strategies, supplying a road map for action. Having a financial plan - and sticking with it - provides you with a real advantage when it comes to planning your retirement along with other long-term financial and life goals.

Retirement Planning/Children's Education Funds - Franklin Park, IL

Often people say that they're saving for retirement or saving for their little one's education. They could be seen as precise goals, however they are really quite vague. Financial planning can find the important numbers - How much do you need to save and by when? If you aren't sure whether or not you will have enough to live on post-retirement, it can create anxiety. But once you know what you have to do and that you are following the financial plan, it offers peace of mind and confidence. Whenever your situation changes from single to married, from renting to buying a home, having kids or caring for aging mothers and fathers, financial planning will help you make better-informed decisions.

Certified Financial Planner - Franklin Park, IL

Most people don't have unlimited resources. In such a situation, Financial Planning through a Certified Financial Planner can provide advice on how best to make informed options and prudently use the restricted resources for reaching financial freedom. Say, if you have identified retirement and funding your child's education as your financial targets, but you only have Rs. 1,000 extra each and every year to achieve these objectives, a Certified Financial Planner will help you choose among your priorities. Whatever you decide, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that an expert has reviewed your circumstances and that you're doing something positive for your financial predicament. Financial planning offers a road map with an action plan that - if implemented diligently - will take you where you want to go fiscally.

Missing the big picture is a problem seen all too often with clients. If you're centered on the near-term rather than on much wider long-term implications, then you may wind up impairing the accumulation of wealth. For instance, depending on pre-tax returns for financial decision-making rather than understanding that various kinds of investments are susceptible to differing tax rates could be damaging for your financial well-being. A Certified Financial Planner will make you understand that the kind of investment you choose has an effect on the after-tax return. Bear in mind, it's not about the returns an investment produces; it's about the net income that comes in your hands. Many of you do not realize the delayed tax implications on the foreseeable future nest eggs. It is pre-tax returns you're concerned with and you do not realize that there will be a drag on the ultimate amount of money you will have because of the tax liability which is waiting for you.

Impact of Financial Planning - Franklin Park, IL
