Do you know how the decisions you make today will impact your financial future?

There have been and always will be multiple paths to succeeding in your financial goals. Maybe for you it’s finding the fastest route. Maybe it’s the easiest path. Perhaps it’s finding the most careful, safest course.

Regardless of how you want to get there, what’s critical is that you are always thinking about what to do next with your wealth, so you stay on the path to success.

It’s important to remember your wealth plan is about more than just money. An integrated wealth plan isn’t only about your goals, it’s also about your core values. What matters most to you in life? How does your wealth relate to that? What should your wealth help you accomplish? What could it accomplish for others?

Proper wealth planning looks at your current and future situation from a variety of perspectives. That could include:

Assessing your current wealth plan starts with some big picture questions:

What do I have?
A good wealth plan starts with a clear understanding of your assets, your investments and how they affect each other.

• Are your tax planning and investment decisions working together?
• Do you know how much your business is worth?
• Do you know the legal ownership of your assets and investments?
• Do you know the tax impact of liquidating one asset versus another?
• Which document is used to determine who gets your assets when you die? A will? A trust? A buy/sell agreement? A beneficiary form?

What do I need?
Once you have a picture of your current financial situation, you can better predict what you’ll need to accomplish your goals.

• Will you have the cash flow in retirement to live the way you want?
• Do you have the right insurance coverage in place?
• Is the structure in place to pass your wealth to your beneficiaries?
• Do you know how to get cash from your investments or business if you need or want to stop working?
