Staying Financially Healthy
There’s a lot of talk these days, understandably so, about health. This is extremely important, and following proper guidelines may help save your life. But besides personal health, it’s also important to make sure you’re financially healthy as well. Thus, it’s a good idea to do a checkup every so often to assess where you are right now, and decide if you’re prepared for any potential roadblocks that may occur.
So where does financial health start? It begins with the simple things: an emergency fund, one that may cover your basic expenses in case your income is slowed or stops. But there’s more to it. What about debts? Are you taking advantage of any employer matches in your company retirement plan? Have your goals changed in the past few years? If so, are you still set up to get to where you want to be?
In this week’s edition of LCG Weekly, chairman and CEO Ray Lucia Jr. talks with our advisor in the Pacific northwest, Chris Panagiotu, CFP
, about how to do your own financial health check-up. They talk about starting simple, and then moving up from there as needed. You never know when the worst may hit, so the best thing you can do is be prepared. Check out this week’s video to find out more!
