Thing’s You’ll Learn Along Today’s Journey
As you travel this summer, perhaps you are visiting a lighthouse along the coast. Up the winding stairs and at the top is the bright light, guiding boats home. A lighthouse is a beacon–it shows strength, provides safety, and helps boats navigate to where they need to go. As beautiful as lighthouses are, they are there to serve a function.
Similarly, your financial plan is put in place to serve you. Your retirement plan should provide safety from inflation or unnecessary taxes. You can’t know everything that is ahead in the future, but your plan can guide you in the right direction and prevent you from running into trouble.
Is your current financial plan providing the safety and direction you need? We all know the storms will come at some point, which is why it’s important to be prepared and know where you’re going ahead of time.
