Staying on Track
With a financial plan in place there is still work to be done. There may be bumps in the road so there may still be much to do to ensure your goals will be managed. It is important to review your plan at least once a year to make sure that it is up to date. Changes in personal circumstances or the economy may require you to modify your plan. Here are a few events that might trigger a review of your financial plan:
- Your goals or time horizons change
- You experience a life-changing event such as marriage, the birth of a child, health problems or a job loss
- You have a specific or immediate financial planning need (e.g., drafting a will, managing a distribution from a retirement account, paying long-term care expenses)
- Your income or expenses substantially increase or decrease
- Your portfolio hasn't performed as expected
- You're affected by changes in the economy or tax laws
