Equipping Points:
When you sit down to talk about your finances, sometimes you run into a question that stumps you. Even if you can’t fully answer the questions, it’s still important to consider these when financial planning. For instance, no one really knows when the next market crash will hit. We can, though, consider what caused market crashes in the past and then set up your financial plan strategically to account for the possibility of a crash in the future.
What financial questions stop you in your tracks? Have you been able to implement a strategy that leaves you feeling more confident in your financial plan? Reach out to a financial advisor for guidance as you build the right financial plan for you.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- When’s the next market crash going to happen?
- What will healthcare costs look like in 20 years?
- Who will our future president do and how will they change the taxes?
