1. Failing to fully describe the type of retirement you want.
2. Failing to fully describe the future you want for yourself and your family.
3. Failing to fully describe the type of estate you want to leave for your family.
4. Failing to clearly define the type and degree of financial risk you are willing to accept.
5. If you have children, failing to plan for their education.
6. Failing to consider and define your short-term financial needs and goals in addition to your plans for the future.
These are a few of the questions every conscientious financial advisor will ask you.

7. Believing you can layout a sound strategy for your financial future by downloading a "financial planning template" from the Internet. Our financial advisors have decades of experience they bring to you. Our financial advisors get to know you. A "white paper" doesn't know anything about you and, therefore, can only provide very general guidelines. You may have heard the old saying, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Are you really willing to trust your money, and your financial future, to a "white paper"? |
