Financial Planning FAQs

What is financial planning? Is it too early for me to think about it?

Financial planning allows you to look at your finances, investments, taxes, debt and spending habits to help you reach your retirement goals. While it may sound like something for the elite, the reality is everyone should have a financial plan, even the minimum wage worker in their early ‘20s. Hiring a financial planner will put you one step closer to realizing your future financial goals. Our firm will help you identify both short- and long-term goals while analyzing your net worth and income to determine the feasibility of your goals. The decisions you make now will impact your future, so make wise ones and invest in yourself!

Why should I make a financial plan for my future?

The sooner you start planning the better off you will be. It takes time to build wealth and pay off debt so the sooner you start the further progress you will make on achieving your financial goals. Your retirement income is affected by your age, debts, income, living expenses, investments, and prior compensation. The number of student loans or credit card debts you have can affect your ability to explore your hobbies or travel to distant lands. Failure to plan for the future results in many disappointed retirees. With a significant portion of the U.S. population deciding to retire in Central Florida, our firm has worked with many clients throughout various stages of their lives. Please contact Nelson Financial Planning to get started on developing your financial plan for the future today.

What should a financial or retirement plan include?

A typical financial plan should include a list of all your finances, including all income, savings, debts, taxes, and investments. You’ll need to prioritize your goals and be able to see the big picture towards planning your retirement. Our plans typically include determining your net worth and preparing an income statement that details both your income and expenses. From there, we look for ways to pay off debt faster or start saving sooner. Our experienced financial advisors will help you answer these questions:

  • If you buy a new car this year, how will that impact your savings and ability to pay off other debts?
  • Is there a way for you to pay off your debts and mortgage on your home sooner than expected?
  • How can you reduce your annual taxes?
  • Are you able to set more aside now for your 401k plan or Individual Retirement Account (IRA)?
  • Should you be investing in a more aggressive or conservative portfolio given your age, income, and anticipated age of retirement?
  • Could you benefit from behavioral coaching to help you make better financial decisions?
