It helps you prioritize your goals

You probably have many different financial goals. You may have a specific retirement age in mind, and you may have a desired standard of living that you want to enjoy after you retire. Perhaps you want to save for your child’s education so they don’t have to struggle with the burden of student loan debt. There may be large purchases you want to make, like an overseas vacation or a beach house, or maybe you want to start a business.

With so many goals competing for your limited attention and resources, it can often be difficult to know which goals deserve your focus. A comprehensive financial plan provides analysis of your goals so you can see which ones will require the most effort and resources.

You can then prioritize your goals so you know where to direct your savings and your attention. If you don’t prioritize your objectives, it’s difficult to achieve them in any kind of strategic way

It shows you how your financial objectives are connected or linked

Without a comprehensive financial plan, it also may be difficult to see how your financial goals are interconnected. For example, if you save money for your child’s education, that may limit the amount you can save for your retirement. Or if you accumulate a sizable amount of retirement assets, you may need to reassess your estate planning.

The various aspects of your financial life are all interconnected. A decision in one area will likely impact other areas. A comprehensive financial plan allows you to see how your goals are connected to one another and how your decisions affect your ability to achieve your objectives.

How do you decide which goals to pursue and which not? How do you know how much money to allocate toward each objective? When you develop a comprehensive financial plan, you spend time examining each of these goals to determine how they should be prioritized. That helps you make more informed decisions about how to save.

It helps you manage and minimize risk with better investment strategy

Are you fully aware of all the financial risks you might face? Many people are not. Unfortunately, they then find themselves unprepared when a financial threat becomes reality.

For example, what if you were to pass away at a relatively young age? What risk would that post to your loved ones? What if you or your spouse required long-term care in retirement? How would that impact your finances? What if you became disabled and were forced into early retirement?

The good news is there are a variety of strategies you can implement to minimize these risks and more. However, you have to be aware of the risks to take action. A comprehensive financial plan highlights these risks and provides a mitigation strategy.
