Financial Feedback and Key Insights
Thank you for completing our financial health quiz! Based on your responses, we’ve identified key information to consider. Explore the topics below and discover actionable steps to enhance your financial well-being.
Have you established a financial plan to achieve your long-term goals?
It is important to have a financial plan to ensure you are taking the most efficient and strategic path to your goals. This will help provide financial direction to prioritize saving and investing for specific milestones. This can also compel you to curb short-term spending. A simple strategy is to save money in tax-advantaged accounts, which can grow over time with compound interest.
Are you comfortable with your investment risk?
It is important to be comfortable and understand your investment risk because while investment returns tend to be reliably positive over long periods of time, they can be erratic and unpredictable in the short term. Should the broad market correct or enter a bear market, long-term savers know they have a runway before their goal comes due so they can avoid selling in a panic.
Have you looked at strategies to reduce income taxes in the future?
Income tax planning is an essential part of any financial plan for individuals and families. Proper income tax planning allows you to reduce or defer your income, increase your deductions, maximize your tax credits, and structure your investments for tax efficiency. Income tax planning is important because it helps you reduce your tax liability. By taking advantage of deductions and credits, and by timing income and expenses, you can minimize your income tax.
Do you have an estate plan, updated in the last 5 years, with a will, a durable power of attorney, and a healthcare proxy?
Powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and living wills are important estate planning documents that help you maintain control over your financial and medical affairs. Regardless of your current health condition, there is a chance that at some point you could become incapacitated. It is important to have these documents updated in case things change. It is always important to understand what should happen through an estate and what should not.
Do you understand your investments and how they work with your financial goals?
There is no guarantee you’ll make money from your investments. But if you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of strategically managing your money.
