4 Things to Discuss With Your Financial Advisor

Created by Allan Oulate

Emergency Savings

One of the most important financial moves you must make is to have emergency savings. For starters, it

might be best to put $50-100 a week aside, especially on days when you are home not doing anything. This

can be helpful because if you are ever in a serious need of money you won’t have to dip into your retirement plan,

savings account, or take on more unnecessary debt.

CollegeEveryone knows how expensive college can be. It can

require a lot of money, especially if you have more than one child. I suggest you speak with your financial advisor about

starting a college fund when your children are young. As college tuition continues to increase, it may be best to get

ahead of the game and start saving now.

Figure Out Your Bad Spending Habits

You should definitely let your financial advisor know what your income is, and what your spending habits consist of. This gives the advisor an idea

of how much you should and shouldn’t spend on a daily basis. If you come into your meeting with your advisor and already map out your

financial weaknesses it can allow you to both to figure out ways to fix your issues faster.

GoalsBefore heading to your financial advisor, you should sit and write down some short and long term goals that you have in mind. This can give your advisor a better idea of how you should invest and spend your money, accordingly. I would

give your advisor at least 5 short and long-term goals. These goals can range from buying a house to retiring.
