New to Financial Planning? Review Our Financial Planning – Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is financial planning important? When should I start?
Financial planning helps you take control of your finances, prepare for unexpected expenses, achieve short- and long-term goals (like buying a home or retiring) and reduce stress by providing a clear path forward.
When it comes to financial planning, the sooner you start, the better. Starting early allows your money to grow over time through compounding. But it’s never too late to start – even small steps can make a big difference.
2. Do I need a financial planner? What is the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner?
Not everyone needs one, but a financial planner can be valuable if you have complex finances, want personalized strategies, or lack time or expertise. Many people use a mix of DIY tools and occasional expert guidance.
A financial planner helps create a comprehensive strategy. A financial advisor may focus on investments but could also provide planning. For financial planning, look for certifications like CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) professional for trustworthy guidance.
3. What are the basics of a good financial plan?
A solid plan includes:
- A clear budget and emergency fund
- Debt management
- Short- and long-term goals
- Investment strategy
- Insurance coverage
- Retirement planning
- Estate or legacy planning
4. How much should I save each month? And how do I build an emergency fund?
A common rule of thumb is the 50/30/20 rule:
- 50% for needs
- 30% for wants
- 20% for savings and debt repayment
For emergency funds, aim to save at least 20% of your income if possible, but start with what you can. Set aside 3-6 months’ worth of essential living expenses. Start small – even $500 to $1,000 is a strong first milestone. Keep it in a savings account for easy access.
