During these uncertain economic times, financial planning has become a challenge. Here are a few financial planning suggestions that can simplify your life and add to your peace of mind about financial matters:
• At least once a year, write down your investment goals and what strategy you will use to reach them. This will keep you focused.
• Instead of giving money to many different charities, pick a few that are important to you, and give them a larger amount. This type of directed giving not only makes more sense, but also makes it easier to track your donations at tax time.
• Inventory your household possessions, optimally with a camera or camcorder. Keep the inventory at work or in a safe-deposit box. This inventory will help should you need to submit a homeowner's insurance claim.
• Use one insurance agent and one financial advisor for your transactions.
• If you have doubts about entering into a transaction, don’t do it. You will probably save yourself money, time, and aggravation.
