5. Connect with an advisor
Now that your debt is paid off and you have more than 3 to 6 months of expenses saved, it's time to connect with an advisor.
Tip 1: Schedule a complimentary, introductory meeting with a financial advisor.
It only takes a few minutes to schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
Financial advisors can help you create financial plans and assist with goal setting, budgeting, reviewing current investments, and helping with 401(k)s, IRAs, and Roth IRAs.
Tip 2: Plan ahead before meeting with your advisor.
Here’s what you can expect to talk about with your advisor and how they can help:
Determine and prioritize your goals.
Identify resources to help you fund your goals.
Discuss income and retirement.
Create a personalized plan.
Review and put your plan into action.
Tip 3: Follow up with your financial advisor at least once a year.
Staying connected with your advisor can help you adjust your course to financial freedom as needed and keep you on track to retire with confidence.
