Financial Planning: What it is and Why Every Wealthy Woman Needs It

Women's Wealth Canada

Too many Canadians don’t have a financial plan. That’s what a recent FP Canada report found.

Only 25 per cent of Canadians are working with a financial advisor and 30 per cent of those surveyed say they don't have a financial plan at all.

Interestingly, younger people are more likely to say they don't have a financial plan but wish they did.

What caught my eye about this survey is that Canadians don’t even agree on what a financial plan is. Some think it is an investment plan, that is, a plan for what types of investments you’ll put money into. Other people think a financial plan is a written plan that shows where you are today when it comes to your financial circumstances, where you plan to be tomorrow and how you’ll get there. That definition is closer to the truth.
A financial plan looks at the big picture. It helps you set short-term and long-term financial goals and identify steps to achieving them. In this episode, we look at:
Financial Planning
What Your Plan Should Include
How a Plan Can Help You
Why You Might Not Already Have a Plan
And most importantly ... how to get one!
