Too many Canadians don’t have a financial plan. That’s what a recent FP Canada report found. 

Only 25 per cent of Canadians are working with a financial advisor and 30 per cent of those surveyed say they don't have a financial plan at all. 

Interestingly, younger people are more likely to say they don't have a financial plan but wish they did.

What caught my eye about this survey is that Canadians don’t even agree on what a financial plan is. Some think it is an investment plan, that is, a plan for what types of investments you’ll put money into. Other people think a financial plan is a written plan that shows where you are today when it comes to your financial circumstances,  where you plan to be tomorrow and how you’ll get there. That definition is closer to the truth. 

A financial plan looks at the big picture. It helps you set short-term and long-term financial goals and identify steps to achieving them.  In this episode, we look at:
Financial Planning
What Your Plan Should Include
How a Plan Can Help You
Why You Might Not Already Have a Plan
And most importantly ... how to get one!

Each year, I like to begin by talking about goals. And specifically about you and your financial goals.  Have you set them?  Are you making progress?  Do you have a plan?

Let's talk about 5 ways to recharge your financial goals this year.

What financial goals did you set for yourself last year? Which ones did you achieve and which are you still working on? Which ones do you need to work on first?

What goals no longer serve you? Life changes every year. Our goals do too. Let it go if it’s not going to make your life better.

In this episode, we will dive deep into the five essential ways to revive your financial goals.

1. Sort Your Goals: Evaluate, eliminate, and prioritize your financial goals for the year. 
2. Money Matters: Understand where your money is coming from to fund your 2024 goals. Consider additional income sources and optimize withdrawals for retirees.
3. Emergency Fund TLC: Tend to your emergency fund—essential for reducing stress and providing a financial cushion during unforeseen circumstances.
4. Debt Demolition: Choose between snowball and avalanche methods to pay down debt faster. Pick what suits you, but remember never to accumulate credit card debt.
5. Portfolio Rebalance: Annually reassess and diversify your investment portfolio for stable growth.
