Frequently Asked Questions

A financial plan creates a complete picture of your finances. It determines short-term goals such as saving for a car or home, or long-term goals like retirement. You are never too old, too young, too wealthy, or too poor to engage in financial planning. Your goals may change with each life stage and it is important to have a road map so you know you’re on the right track.
A rule of thumb is to save the equivalent of three to six months of living expenses in an emergency fund/rainy-day fund to get you through unexpected events such as a financial setback or car repair. These reserved funds will help you avoid using money from your savings or borrowing from your credit card.
A savings account is best used for short-term goals and readily available funds. Investments are a smart way to grow your savings over a long period of time, protect your money from depreciation, and have your money earn money for you. Both are great ways to save money, but each has different uses and perks. For more information, contact one of our experts.
