What Financial Planning Can & Can't Do
When you decide to undertake financial planning, it's important to understand what it can do for you—and what it can't do. Many people consult with a financial planner as they face major life events that have a financial impact: getting married, having children, college expenses, or nearing retirement. Planning is important for these events, but it can help at any time in your life, as long as you realize what you'll get out of it.
