Suggesting that someone sit down with a financial advisor may be the best advice you ever give them. People are asked to make difficult monetary decisions every day, and having the financial know-how in their back pocket is a simple way to ensure they are making the right choices. Whether you are trying to pay off student loans or plan for retirement, here are three ways financial advisors can help your finances beyond managing investments:
1. They can offer credit help. In today’s world, many consumers are struggling with credit issues. A financial advisor has the tools and resources to help you allocate your cash flow, map out a budget and identify problem areas that can be affecting your credit. Advisors can help prioritize their client’s debt and provide them with a plan to consolidate and eventually pay off debts, including student loans.
2. They can prepare you for retirement. Beyond a traditional 401(k) provided by your employer, financial investment advisors can help structure your retirement plan to include other options such as a Roth and traditional IRAs. Based on your retirement goals, these advisors will sit with you and help implement a strategy that will set you up for success when the time comes to stop working.
3. They can give great advice on life insurance (and other insurances). If you’re in the market for life insurance, you should consider enlisting a financial advisor to help guide you through the process. They can take a look at all aspects of your finances to determine which life insurance policy you should purchase for the best personal protection. Financial planners can also advise on health, home and auto insurance that best fits your needs.
